SUMMARY:Waltzing the Wilarra
DESCRIPTION:Charlie\, Elsa and Fay take you on a musical journey back to 1940’s post war Perth. Against a backdrop of curfews\, and the fear of arrest for consorting\, white and black manage to form their own club. For a night they can forget their worries and experience rare happy times singing\, dancing\, listening to music\, and with a little luck… romance. \nForty years on\, as the club faces demolition\, our three characters meet once again to stage a musical reunion and protest in an attempt to save their old stomping ground. As the trio reflects upon loves lost and found\, old arguments and alliances resurface. \nDark secrets and ghosts that have lingered for more than half a century are revealed\, and we discover that reconciliation is more than saying sorry.

SUMMARY:OPENING NIGHT // Tea Ceremony in the Celestial Garden
DESCRIPTION:A BRAG Foyer Space Exhibition by Jayanto Tan \nFriday 19 September\, 6-8PMWelcome to CountryAuslan interpreted opening speeches (VRI)Catering by BRAGSBeverages by sponsors Grass Parrot Vineyard\, Renzaglia Wines\, Cosmo BrewingFREE\, all welcome\, RSVP essentialBathurst Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) presents Tea Ceremony in the Celestial Garden by Jayanto Tan. \nColourfully crafted confections tantalise the viewer from inside glass cabinets in Tea Ceremony in the Celestial Garden. 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. \nGrowing up in a large farming family in Indonesia\, the artist has many memories of gatherings in the kitchen\, cooking\, sharing stories\, laughing\, singing\, and drinking tea. Cake was a luxury even for formal occasions like birthday parties\, baby showers\, weddings\, and funerals. Tan reflects on those bittersweet memories. Even though the family may not have been able to afford cakes like these\, they are offered here with humour and love. \nThe mystery of cake\, fake or real\, lies under the heavy icing and elaborate decoration. The cakes are pretty to look at but carry weight underneath. Each glass cabinet is securely locked\, and the objects can’t be touched. For the artist\, looking through the glass exposes the fragility of raw human material covered in makeup\, like late-night performers. \nThe garden that the artist has created\, to honour family and friends who have deceased\, explores Tan’s personal narrative of identity\, longing\, queerness\, lost family\, memorial\, and self-destruction\, here portrayed through alienation\, fantasy\, and desire in a peaceful dreamland.Tea Ceremony in the Celestial Garden is a space where friends and family from the past\, and Gallery visitors in the present\, can mingle to envision the future. \nThis exhibition is dedicated to my beautiful mother. – Jayanto Tan \nImage: Jayanto Tan\, Berries Cream Tarts\, 2025\, ceramic\, 9 x 26 x 26 x 26 cm.
