About the Event
Showing at the Albany Entertainment Centre from 22 October – 10 December, Once Known shares reproductions of fragile artworks created by Aboriginal children stolen from their families and detained at the Carrolup Native Settlement in the 1940s.
The exhibition reminds us that each child had a name, a family and a story, and their artworks stand as a testament to their creativity, resilience and enduring connection to Country.
Through the beauty of art and recognition of place and time, this tour will highlight the story of the Carrolup child artists and the purpose of the Once Known exhibition, reminding us of our journey together on a path of reconciliation.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware the exhibition contains images, voices and names of people who have died. It also contains information that might be confronting and may cause distress.
