Badu Gili | Opera House daily sails lighting (Director’s Commentary by Rhoda Roberts AO)

 

An important pillar of the Opera House’s year-round First Nations program, Badu Gili is an essential Sydney cultural experience for both visitors and the local community that aims to foster and celebrate a shared sense of belonging for all Australians. This first refresh of Badu Gili traces songlines across shifting terrain, from the far corners of the Australian desert to the waters of the Torres Strait. Curated by the Opera House’s Head of First Nations programming, Rhoda Roberts AO with the support of Yakkazoo, the projections weave together the work of the diverse voices of established artist and community leader Djambawa Marawili AM, vibrant watercolour painter Mervyn Rubuntja, internationally renowned artist and prestigious Telstra NATSIAA awards finalist Mabel Juli, painter, lecturer and traditional healer Patricia Ansell Dodds, ceramicist Penny Evans and emerging printmaker Aiona Tala Gaidan, with an original soundscape by Damian Robinson. — SUBSCRIBE to #SydneyOperaHouse http://bit.ly/SOHYouTube Like Sydney Opera House on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/sydneyoperahouse What's On at Sydney Opera House http://bit.ly/SOHWhatsOn #BaduGili Badu Gili 2018: Opera House daily sunset sails lighting (Director’s Commentary by Rhoda Roberts AO)
