A group of Indigenous elders share their story of resilience in the face of racial adversity through a powerful month-long exhibition to make for a special NAIDOC Week in Narrogin.
Arts Narrogin presents the multimedia exhibition Ngaluk Waangkiny, translating to Us Talking, from June 26 to July 31 depicting the life journeys of 10 Indigenous elders through photography, recorded oral histories and a short documentary.
Elders Uncle Ben Taylor Cuiermara, Aunty Theresa Walley, Uncle Farley Garlett, Aunty Doolann Leisha Eatts, Uncle Walter Eatts, Aunty Irene and Uncle Albert McNamara, Aunty Muriel Bowie, Aunty Margaret Culbong and Uncle Noel Nannup utilise the different forms of media to explore identity, connection and resilience.
Mr Nannup said he always takes the opportunity to teach young people about the importance of family history.
“You have your old people at home and they are your library. Go and talk to them and find out as much as you can about your family line and hang onto that,” he said.
Mr Garlett said, “when I was growing up, I had to learn all about white fellas, their culture and history. But what do you know about me?”
Ms Culbong said “racism doesn’t change overnight, but it takes action, and you’ve got to do it, because we’ve been here for 60,000 years and we’ll be here for 60,000 more.”
Developed by Community Arts Network and touring with Art on the Move, the exhibition acts as a reminder legacy is not always inherited, but actively built, highlighting the elders triumphs, battle for human rights, respect and recognition.
Shire of Narrogin president Leigh Ballard said the shire was proud to support Ngaluk Waangkiny and honour “voices, histories and lived experiences of elders from Boorloo”.
“These powerful stories of resilience, advocacy and cultural strength are deeply moving and offer an opportunity for reflection, learning and connection,” Cr Ballard said.
“As we celebrate 50 years of NAIDOC Week, this exhibition brings to life the 2025 theme, The Next Generation: Strength, Vision and Legacy by recognising the profound influence of elders and the legacy they continue to build.”
