Shana O'Brien — Inner Landscapes

Overview

First Nations artist and dancer Shana O'Brien brings her exhibition, Inner Landscapes, which tells stories of the land and our connection to it, to the Gosford Regional Gallery and Edogawa Commemorative Garden from Friday, May 24, to Monday, June 3.

O'Brien uses her art to give insight into the lives of her ancestors. Her use of colours and shapes evokes her emotional journey. As a proud Darkinjung woman, O'Brien feels a particular connection to the area where this performance will take place.

As a dancer and graduate of NAISDA College, Australia's premier performing arts institution specifically for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, O'Brien has worked with some of New South Wales' best choreographers and artists.

She's also performed with Sydney's famous Bangarra Dance Theatre and participated in the Banff Indigenous Dance Lab in Canada.

Shana O'Brien brings a real artistic pedigree, so go to Gosford at the end of May and let her take you on a journey to the land and beyond.
