  • Barka: The Forgotten River

    Australian Museum

    First Nations exhibition developed by artists Uncle Badger Bates and Justine Muller is showing at the Australian Museum this autumn and winter.
    In Barkandji culture, Barka (Darling River) is more than a large body of water: Barka is a mother, an ancestor, a life source. It’s also in peril, along with everyone that lives along it, due to mismanagement of the Barwon-Darling system. If you’re keen to learn and understand more, you can do so at the new First Nations exhibition Barka: The Forgotten River, showing this autumn and winter at the Australian Museum.
