In Conversation - Megan White
2025-10-04 12:00 - 13:30 | Bathurst Library, 70 -78 Keppel Street, Bathurst, New South Wales, 2795, Australia
Central West fantasy author Megan White will be in conversation for the Bathurst launch of her new book ‘The Anatomy of Gods’.
The Anatomy of Gods is the second book in The Anatomy Duet and follows main character Kasira Severen who has been bestowed the Songs of both Life and Death, curing ailments during the day, but when the sun sets, she becomes the city’s most notorious assassin.
Megan White is a physiotherapist and sheep farmer based in rural New South Wales. With a deep love of literature and a fascination with human anatomy, her creative work often explores the intersection of body and art—sometimes with a delightfully morbid twist. Megan studied with the Australian Writers’ Centre before penning her debut book, The Anatomy of Songs.
Copies of the book will be available for sale on the day.

Head to BRAG each Sunday during our suite of exhibitions for a self-guided Sunday Sketch & Make Session!

Free – all welcome, materials supplied.

Current suite of exhibitions includes:

A Tear in the Fabric presents new and existing works from nine Asian and Asian Australian artists who embrace distortion as a mode of disruption. In partnership with 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art, the exhibition revolves around notions of aesthetic, material and conceptual interventions integrated into established forms of creative practice. Picking at the seams to make space for new narratives and artistic approaches, we see exploratory excursions into concepts of place, materiality, memory, identity and perception, manifesting in a diverse range of mediums.

Tea Ceremony in the Celestial Garden, is reminiscent of the famous Japanese food display ‘shokuhin sampuru’ or French pastries display in Paris, the cakes are mouth-watering, but not for consumption. The construction of the cakes in ceramics is labour-intensive, down to each sprinkle of hundreds and thousands. Their imaginary forms conjure a colourful, dream-like world. This project was created during a 2025 artist residency at the PumpHouse Albury.

Landscapes of Imagination: From the Collection, bringing together works from the Bathurst Regional Art Gallery Collection that reflect the enduring artistic allure of Hill End. This historic village has captured the imaginations of artists drawn to its layered histories, dramatic terrain, and evocative sense of place.
