About the exhibition

TOURING WITH ART ON THE MOVE 2025-27

Stories of resilience from ten trailblazing Elders

Meaning ‘Us Talking’ in Noongar, Ngaluk Waangkiny is a landmark, multi-media storytelling project designed to honour and preserve the legacy of Elders. Ten respected Elders from Boorloo (Perth) have collaborated with Community Arts Network to share their life journeys as part of this truth-telling project. Their stories are poignant, powerful and at times heartbreaking and harrowing – but they have been laid bare so that future generations are aware of Australia’s often hidden Black history.

The Ngaluk Waangkiny tour to Kalgoorlie will act as a catalyst for Community Arts Network’s new project, Legacies. Inspired by Ngaluk Waangkiny, Legacies will celebrate the unique personal histories of trailblazing Elders from the Goldfields region.
