Lurrtjurni - Together

This exhibition stems from a desire to create togetherness in our community.

Derived from the language groups of the five artists featured, the word ‘Lurrtjurni’ shared across all, evokes a sense of togetherness and connection to the present.

Togetherness refers to the artist and their works and the community surrounding them – arts workers, patrons, and appreciators. It refers to the people, the ideas, and the artistic and cultural identities they can share and celebrate together.

Inspired by the Kalgoorlie-Boulder area, a shared place between woodlands and desert, togetherness also symbolises the community overcoming obstacles and identifying opportunities in their unique environment, finding ways to thrive in interesting terrain.
