SYDNEY ELDERS (2018)

In Aboriginal communities our elders are our libraries they hold our knowledge and connect us to our past while strengthening our future.
This exhibition brings together four of Sydney's respected elders and traditional owners to share their unique stories of this place.

Uncle Dennis is a Gai-mariaga man from northern Sydney who has deep knowledge of his mother's country.
Aunty Sandra is a Dharug elder from Blacktown, where she is an active member of the western Sydney Aboriginal community.
Uncle Chicka is from Gadigal country and a recognised member of the Redfern community.
Aunty Esme is a celebrated Bidjigal artist and elder from the Aboriginal mission community of La Perouse on the shores of Botany Bay.

 Each elder represents different clans and groups that have not only survived in Sydney but have continued their ancestors' legacy by
actively contributing to their communities and to the growth and development of Sydney.

Members of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities are respectfully advised that this exhibition and related materials contain
the names, words and images of people who have passed away. They are included with the permission of family and/or elders.
