‘Currawa Crossing’ Art Exhibition

National Reconciliation Week—held every year from 27 May to 3 June—is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. The National Reconciliation Week 2025 theme, Bridging Now to Next, reflects the ongoing connection between past, present and future.

Returning for its third year, the Currawa Crossing exhibition showcases artworks from Aboriginal artists from across the Riverina and Murray footprint in the spirit of Reconciliation. Artists include Stephen Berger, Patricia Cerminara, Maggih Coats, Tamara Murray, Tannah Lee, Neville Torrishe, Tammy Campbell, Aunty Pam Griffin and Hailey Plunkett.

The Currawa Crossing exhibition will also be screening eight short films on Wiradjuri language and culture that were developed in the Riverina by Miil Miil Productions. Co-founded by animator Bernard Higgins of Birdyulang Animations and digital artist Elijah Ingram, their production company is dedicated to preserving and sharing Aboriginal language and heritage through digital films, animations, and immersive experiences. The films will be on display for the duration of the exhibition.

Art lovers can view the Currawa Crossing exhibition for free at the Corowa Art Space, opening 28th May and closing at the conclusion of NAIDOC Week on 13th July. Opening hours are Wednesday - Friday 10am - 4pm, and Saturday - Sunday from 10am to 2pm.
