A workshop for young indigenous people from across the New England region, to reflect on the significance of the Myall Creek Massacre 180 years later and create a new work to be included in an exhibition at the New England Regional Art Museum as part of this year’s commemorations.

The workshops will be held with Kamilaroi/Gomeroi singer/ songwriters Radical Son (David Leha) and Quralia Knox who will lead a touring musical workshop that explores the history of Myall Creek, the importance of truth-telling in reconciliation, and the role of the arts in healing- including creative responses to trauma.

Workshop participants will:
- Gain experience in singing and songwriting;
- Learn the facts of the Myall Creek Massacre & why it remains significant to Australia today;
- Contribute to a new creative music work that builds on responses to the story of Myall Creek.
