Bouddi Gallery - Contemporary Aboriginal Lifestyle Art

05/01/2024

We celebrated the 16th anniversary of Bouddi Gallery on 26th December 2023.

Unfortunately, declining sales and increased overheads has made the Bouddi Gallery in Killcare, an untenable bricks and mortar business.

We will close our doors for the last time on Sunday 25th February at 3pm.

Please join us then to celebrate the enormous contributions we have made to remote communities.

We will however continue our business online from March 2024 and do pop ups in the community on long weekends.

We appreciate everyone’s support of the gallery over the years and hope that you will continue your support online.

Our dedication to Aboriginal owned Art Centres remains unwavering.

Congrats to all.

Philip Watkins (Desart, CEO), Cecilia Alfonso (Warlukurlangu Artists, manager) and Sabrina Napangardi Granites (painter and member of Warlurlangu Artists) at the Revisions exhibition at Rautenstrauch-Joest Museum, in Cologne. Over the past eight years, painters from Warlukurlangu Artists in collaboration with British artist Patrick Waterhouse, have reworked maps, flags, photographs, comic illustrations and other archival material. This has resulted in artistic positions that offer new access to previously mostly obscured perspectives. The largest exhibition of these works to date, some of which also relate to the collection holdings at the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum, will open tonight at 7pm.

The upcoming referendum is simply a vote to recognise the First Nations peoples of this magnificent country. Nothing more, nothing less.
There is no hidden agenda and no need to feel threatened.
Voting yes simply acknowledges that the First Nations peoples of this country have an inherent right to be heard.
Voting yes will not take away any rights of non Indigenous people.
Voting yes is simply an acknowledgment that First Nations people have a right for a voice in the land that was taken away from them.
Obviously we can’t reverse the past, no one can, but we can address our past, respectfully and honestly.
Doing so is a sign of national maturity.
A pledge of respect for cultural integrity.
