The talent of Wiluna’s established and emerging artists featured in: Telling Our Stories through Painting: the Canning Stock Route Project, which opened at Tjukurba Gallery on Friday 7 November, 2008.
Some of the artists who displayed work have also contributed to the Canning Stock Route Project. Tjukurba Gallery is one of the nine art centres participating in the project from the Kimberley, Midwest and Goldfields regions of Western Australia.
Telling Our Stories Through Painting brought together some important pieces by Wiluna artists, and showed them alongside work by the community’s emerging artists. It created a moment which celebrated the strength and energy of Wiluna’s artistic development: where it was possible to plot the trajectory from the freshness of emerging generations through to the potent work of the community’s leading artists.
Birrilibuiru artists and other Wiluna contributors who have participated in the Canning Stock Route Project are:
Georgina Brown, Geoffrey Stewart, Sunshine and Dusty Stevens, Mr Patch, Lena Long, Clifford Brooks, Sharon Anderson, Jennifer Lane, Annette Williams, Adena Williams, Friday Jones, Kaye Bingham, Sheila Friday Jones and Vera Anderson.
The exhibition launched a weekend of celebration, involving the school, the Shire and the whole community, highlighting the connections between community, corporate and Aboriginal stakeholders.
