A portrait exhibition co-ordinated by CAN WA (Community Arts Network WA) that celebrates the strength and resilience of 16 Noongar Elders from across the Wheatbelt.
These Elders, who have now been immortalised on canvas, are part of CAN WA’s Bush Babies community arts project, which aims to capture the unique stories of Noongar babies who were born in the bush, reserves, missions or fringes of towns. This was a time in Western Australian history when some Aboriginal people were not permitted to give birth in hospitals.
