Blacktown Arts announce the launch of Blacktown Proper Way: Us Women, Us Men an exhibition and public program series that celebrates and reconnects with the traditional and contemporary forms of cultural practices specific to the many NSW specific Aboriginal nations who are connected to and call Blacktown home.

This takes place on the land of Darug people and we acknowledge and respect Darug cultural practices and ongoing custodianship. Blacktown Proper Way: Us Women, Us Men is curated by Jamie Eastwood and Dr Virginia Keft.

The exhibition runs from Friday 4 March – Saturday 2 April 2022.

In traditional Aboriginal cultures, women and men had distinct and gender specific roles they performed in their communities. Blacktown Proper Way maintains these ancient and evolving traditions of women’s and men’s business, as the many artists that call Blacktown home come together to explore and celebrate the uniqueness of producing art from a culturally proper way perspective. The exhibition runs from Friday 4 March – Saturday 2 April 2022.

The exhibition is curated in two parts: Us Men and Us Women. In Aboriginal society, there are clear and distinct roles for women and men, these are different and equally important. Us Men and Us Women engage Elders in a consultative and nurturing way to support and reflect both the traditional and changing practices and protocols of Aboriginal cultural tradition.

Curated by Dr Virginia Keft, Blacktown Proper Way Us Women, presents the work, skills, cultural practices, knowledges and wisdoms of Aunty Julie Christian, Jayne Christian, Aunty Robyn Caughlan, Aunty Barbara McGrady, Donna Brown, Debra Beale and emerging artist Tarni Eastwood.

  Harsh crowd. Yikes.

  Pretty good offer that we all get to feel like we're on moral high ground as we continue to exchange money for land that was never ours and all we're being asked for is to care for our neighbours culture. There's your discount. It's a deal.

  Unfortunately for them, current social justice logic says that 'gender is merely a social construct' and they will need to be immediately deplatformed and vilified for their horrific and exclusionary, binary-normative stance.
  I am outraged!/s

    Heh. I see the /s but on that topic why can't they have the culture they see fit? Why do we always assume that integration into our society is the correct way to help?

    Let people live how they want. So long as everyone is aware of their options and can move between societies freely.

    PS: I only use 'they' and 'our' as i lack the ability to better express myself whilst staying succinct.

  Weird how racists get offended by a free aboriginal art exhibition. Negging this isn't gonna save the white race from the great replacement or whatever you believe is happening.

  Maybe post more Jordan Peterson & daily wire deals to feel better.

    So if someone doesnt think its a true bargain and down votes then they are racist?

    A free train trip in A burgundy and gold City Circle Trams, in Melbourne, is free, so if posted and someone says its not a bargain, then they are climate denier's?

    Likewise a Free find God Lecture (of any denomination) isnt a bargain, even if they argue you might reconsider that when you die…

      You're hypotheticals are so pointless. No need to apply your Solomonic wisdom. Lookup the numerous free arts exhibitions previously posted. Not a single neg on any of them. Art is subjective, if you don't appreciate it don't go. No reason to neg and complain.

      It's absolutely plain to see that's they're motivated by anti-aborignal sentiment. I've got no respect for racists and their apologists.
