Yarrangany Exhibition Opening Event by Creative Geelong Inc.

Yarrangany is a collective exhibition curated by Jessi Rebel at Platform Arts, honouring the deep foundations shaping First Nations identities worldwide, with 'yarrangany' meaning 'roots' in Wiradjuri language. The opening event on 8 May 2026 from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM features a Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Welcome and Smoking Ceremony starting at 5:30 PM, followed by light food and drinks. It gathers artists whose practices stem from connection across countries and cultures, inviting visitors to explore themes of ancestry, Country, language, and memory. Registration is required for this free event, welcoming First Nations artists from all places. Platform Arts, on Wadawurrung Country in Geelong, supports experimental and contemporary art practices.
