Experience Rockingham Central Library After Dark

Running from 6pm–8pm, the exhibition will be presented by the WA Inspired Art Quilters and will include a collection of 16 quilts made by the group. Community members will have the chance to learn about the quilts and their relation to wetland resources and Noongar culture at the time of early European settlement. Bookings are essential for the event.   The Noongar Country: Wetland Glimpses: Library Up Late event is part of a month-long exhibition highlighting the quilts, which will run until Friday 24 May 2019.    City of Rockingham Mayor Barry Sammels said the after dark exhibition would give residents an opportunity to learn about Aboriginal culture in an exciting environment.   "The WA Inspired Art Quilters have created a stunning range of quilts that highlight the importance of the wetlands to Aboriginal people," Mayor Sammels said.   "The quilts depict various aspects of the wetlands on the Swan Coastal Plain and acknowledge that the network of wetlands was abundant on Whadjuk Country before colonisation.   "I urge all residents who are interested in learning more about local Aboriginal culture to take part in the Noongar Country: Wetland Glimpses: Library Up Late event.”    For more information or to book contact the Rockingham Central Library on 9528 8683 or email [email protected]
