SUMMARY:Talks and Tea // Acts of Inheritance & Pattern Recognition
DESCRIPTION:Talks and Tea // Acts of Inheritance & Pattern Recognition\nJoin Bathurst Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) Volunteer Guides for a spotlight talk and walk through of our current exhibitions\, followed by morning tea. \nTour of exhibition \nMorning tea by donation\, RSVP essential \nDates: \nWednesday 11 February\, 10:30am-12:00pm \nWednesday 11 March\, 10:30am-12:00pm \nWednesday 8 April\, 10:30am-12:00pm \nAbout the Exhibitions\nWe Are Studios: Acts of Inheritance\nActs of Inheritance presents new work from seventeen Disabled artists who explore identity as something lived\, layered and continually remade. We come to know ourselves through small\, everyday acts and performances – our own and those of others\, families\, cultures and communities as they leave their mark upon us. \nSome artists revisit family stories or inherited acts; others reflect on Disability\, mental health\, and shifting perceptions of self and how we perform it. Here\, inheritance is not fixed or predetermined\, but enacted through the choices we make\, the stories we tell and the ways we show up for one another. \nThrough these works\, Acts of Inheritance invites us to imagine identity as something performed in ongoing dialogue between who we have been\, who we are becoming and the worlds that shape us. \nWe Are Studios is a 100% Disability-led\, artist-run initiative empowering Disabled Western Sydney artists to thrive. \nArtists: Aili Brenton\, Virginia Bucknell\, Ria Cirera-Cruz\, Taylah Devlin\, Holly-lee Dickson\, Georgina Evans\, Nina Frankie\, Leanne Larwood\, Timothy W. Martin\, Grazia Napoletano\, Adrienne Proud\, Rebecca Sciroli\, Kiri Smith\, Jane Thatcher\, Miah Tito-Barratt\, Jordan Valageorgiou\, Eden Young. \nCurated by We Are Studios Collective. \nThe project is supported by the New South Wales Government through Create NSW and by the Australian Government through Creative Australia\, its principal arts investment and advisory body. \nLiz Bryan: Pattern Recognition\nLiz Bryan is a visual artist and designer working across drawing\, painting\, textiles\, sculpture and digital media. Her practice is shaped by an ongoing interest in esoteric knowledge\, mythologies and ritual\, and engages with themes of womanhood\, place\, and the hidden or overlooked histories of feminine experience. Moving fluidly between art and craft\, Liz’s work also reflects on the intersections of science\, mysticism and material knowledge. \nFor Pattern Recognition at BRAG\, Liz presents a body of work that explores the microcosmic world and the underlying geometry inherent in biological structures. Informed by sacred geometry and esoteric traditions outlined in Plato’s Timaeus\, the exhibition draws on the symbolism of the five Platonic solids—earth\, water\, air\, fire and ether—as metaphors for both physical and metaphysical systems. The relationship between microcosm and macrocosm\, particularly as seen in DNA structures and natural patterning\, underpins the work. \nThrough this work Liz explores the esoteric potential of shape\, line\, colour and form. Historic textile motifs\, including ogee forms and repeating half-brick patterns\, further inform the visual language of the exhibition. Through sculptures and paintings\, Pattern Recognition reveals pattern as a connective force—linking matter\, meaning and the unseen structures that shape our world. \nBathurst Regional Art Gallery is supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW.

SUMMARY:Puppetry Of Paper Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Come and join the amazing Jenny from Little Wing Puppets in your very own puppet making workshop.  \nScrunch\, rip\, twist\, tear! \nHow many things can you do with a piece of paper? This workshop is based on Bunraku-style puppetry\, a traditional Japanese form of theatre which involves multiple puppeteers working closely together to operate one puppet. Workshop participants will start by making a unique puppet out of paper. \nThey will then learn techniques for bringing their puppet to life\, either as individuals or as a team. Each group will work on short performances which are presented to the group. \nParticipants will leave the workshop with a range of performance skills\, which can be applied to any kind of puppetry. \nLittle Wing Puppets have facilitated workshops with thousands of young people in every state and territory of Australia\, as well as overseas. They believe that young people deserve access to the arts\, wherever they live. They’re passionate about passing on their skills so that children can learn to create their own worlds through puppetry. \nRecommended ages 3 years and up.* Parents and carers are encouraged to participate. Children ages 6 years and under need to be accompanied by an adult.
