Skylore: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Astronomy

Saturday, May 27, 2023, 9am – 4pm The exhibit features some of Australia's leading Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders sharing their star knowledge for the first time. The content within this exhibition was sourced and curated by Dr Duane Hamacher, an astronomer and academic working closely with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.While viewing this exhibit, it is important to remember that the first Australians - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people - have looked to the stars for tens of thousands of years. The sky is a map of wisdom and knowledge and like the oral tradition of sharing information, it continues to be passed down to younger generations.This is a permanent attraction at the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium.For more information, contact the Planetarium on 07 3403 8888 during opening hours (Tuesday to Sunday, 9am-4pm)This is a National Reconciliation Week event Venue: Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium, Mt Coot-tha Venue address: Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium, 152 Mt Coot-tha Road, Mt Coot-tha Parent event: National Reconciliation Week Event type: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, Culture, Free Cost: Free Age: Suitable for all ages Bookings: No bookings required.
