Yelmo-Garang

Overview

Sometimes the white walls of a gallery just don't create the most welcoming space, so that's why the curators of the Yelmo-Garang exhibition have transformed the Footscray Community Arts Centre's Gabriel Gallery with couches, art supplies and tea for your enjoyment. Developed by emerging Taungurung artist and filmmaker Kate ten Buuren, and multi-talented creative Kat Clarke, Yelmo-Garang ­— the Kulin word for 'nest' — invites you to discover a space "where time ceases to exist".

Functioning as both an art studio and exhibition space, the public is encouraged to come experience Indigenous artists creating new works, while also leaving behind your own creations. Yelmo-Garang offers a space that is open to any and all possibilities, aiming to separate itself from the bounds of your average art exhibition.

Yelmo-Garang is open now and takes place at the Footscray Community Arts Centre until Saturday, July 29.
