To celebrate NAIDOC 2007, themed ‘50 years: Looking Forward, Looking Blak’, the Queensland Art Gallery will present the display ‘GoMA – Gallery of Murri Art’ and a performance by Ruby Hunter and Amos Roach.

‘GoMA – Gallery of Murri Art’ will be displayed in the GoMA foyer from Friday 6 to Thursday 12 July, then at the annual Family Fun Day at Musgrave Park on 13 July.

The works are the results of workshops by artist Craig Koomeeta and five Gallery staff with 19 young Indigenous students at West End State School.

Ruby Hunter and her son Amos will give a special intimate performance in the Cinema Lounge, Level 1, GoMA, on Thursday 12 July at 2.00pm.

One of Australia’s best loved Indigenous artists, Ruby’s music is primarily a celebration of resilience and the ability to find joy in life, but it also makes the anguish of the stolen generation real and raw.

NAIDOC Week celebrates the survival of Indigenous culture and the Indigenous contribution to modern Australia.
