Cassie Leatham’s Walert Walert (possum skin cloak) holds the stories of Country and the teachings of her ancestors. It tells her own story, and keeps her people’s cultural ways alive, carrying them forward to the next generation.
Join Cassie in the gallery for a special artist talk and telling of the stories of her people alongside her work currently showing in Into the Everywhen curated by Alchemy Orange.
