Kaya wanjoo ngany boodja, Galup.
Welcome to my home, Galup – place of fire.
Galup is an interactive walking performance on-country that brings to life largely unknown histories of this area.
Step back in time to the 1830s with Noongar performer Ian Wilkes as your guide. Throughout the show Ian takes on a range of characters guiding you through real events from our collective past and invites you to join in and be part of the show.
Everyday hundreds of people visit Lake Monger without knowing the events that happened here or understanding its significant place in history. Galup seeks to change that, by uncovering the truth with a profound participatory experience.
Created by Ian Wilkes and artist/filmmaker Poppy van Oorde-Grainger, with an oral history from Elder Doolann-Leisha Eatts, this intimate, truth-telling performance will resonate with you long after you leave.
Cost $25-$39

For Country, for Nation

For Country, for Nation is an Australian War Memorial Touring Exhibition.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have a long-standing tradition of fighting for Country, and continue to serve with honour among our military forces. They have also worked in ancillary, industry, and other home-front activities, and their communities have been thrust into the front line of theatres of war.
The touring exhibition For Country, for Nation highlights these stories and explores themes of remembrance and tradition through family histories, objects, art, and photographs from across Australia, drawing inspiration from cultural traditions and symbols of warrior’s discipline, knowledge, leadership, and skill.
For Country, for Nation is thematic in structure. Within each theme are stories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander experience during wartime and peace.
