Art After Hours: Thomas Mayor on the Uluru Statement

Overview

There's something secretive and special about slipping into an art gallery after hours. Add a few laughs and a glass of wine, and it's pretty difficult to imagine a more seductive reason to get out of your house for the night.

Running on Wednesday, July 10, the Art Gallery of New South Wales is hosting a series of late-night events as part of NAIDOC Week — a week-long celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and achievements.

The highlight of the night, kicking off at 6.30, is the talk by Zenadth Kes man Thomas Mayor on the Uluru Statement from the Heart. Mayor will be discussing what the Uluru Statement is and why it's important to the future of Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander peoples.

There are plenty of other events on throughout the night, too, including a one-hour live performance from husband and wife duo Microwave Jenny at 7:30pm, and guided tours of the Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander collection at 6pm and 7:15pm.

The late-night events start from 5.30pm on Wednesday July 10, to see the full details of the evenings events visit the Art Gallery NSW website.
