In a collaborative project between Indigenous artist Graham Davis King, architect Craig Johnston and contemporary artist Billy Gruner The Joan in Penrith’s light-filled Atrium Foyer will become home to an installation titled New Ngurra, a contemporary reconstruction of a Ngurra: an Indigenous camp, both a place to take shelter and to engage with culture.
Created under the banner of Modern Art Projects (MAP), where the crossover of art and architecture is explored, the New Ngurra designed by Indigenous Artist Project (IAP) will take place over a three-month period, and will be the centrepiece in a suite of Indigenous programming at The Joan, including The 7 Stages of Grieving in June, a Friday Night Lights performance by young Indigenous singer Mi’Kaisha Masella, and extending beyond the installation period to schools performances of Saltbush in August.
