EXHIBITION & SPECIAL EVENT
Guest speaker: Angela Goode
renowned author, journalist and radio presenter
Join us for an afternoon of sharing stories and great discussions with Angela Goode and key Women of the LMRIA members.
Women are the glue holding farms and rural communities together. When hardship strikes, they roll up their sleeves, put lipstick on and take action. Women of the land today are as resilient and resourceful as the pioneers of the past. However, there is no template to survival. Each year brings new and unpredictable challenges.
The physical distance of city consumers from farms makes the task of communicating the effects of drought and flood extraordinarily difficult. At Murray Bridge Regional Gallery, I will discuss ways of closing that gap, in conversation with key local farm women.
An exhibition of photographic portraits, videoworks and moving personal narratives to run at the Murray Bridge Regional Gallery from the 9th August through to 7th September, 2025
