FIONA FOLEY, Nguthuru-Nur

Noosa Regional Gallery in conjunction with NOOSA alive! presents an exciting First Nations exhibition.

Nguthuru-Nur presents a recent series of photographic works by Fiona Foley shot on Badtjala Country. The Magna Carta Tree series examines a mangrove tree named by cattle farmer, Lindsay Titmarsh, on whose property — Tandora — the tree has been living for over 700 years. The farmer named the tree after Magna Carta — which was underwritten in 1215. It is about the same age as the tree on the farmer’s property. Magna Carta is an infamous charter that has led much of Western law since its inception. The 39th Clause of the Magna Carta Libertatum states:

“No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land. To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice.” FIONA FOLEY, Nguthuru-Nur

 MICHAEL COOK, Natures Mortes

Noosa Regional Gallery in conjunction with NOOSA alive! presents an exciting First Nations exhibition.

Natures Mortes

Michael Cook’s Natures Mortes gives us a central tableau, beautifully lit to expose choreographed arrangements of plants, animals, objects and food. Grounded in a photographic aesthetic that echoes Dutch Old Master paintings, this series of work examines the industry and practices that have so effectively brought damage to traditional Aboriginal culture, the natural environment of the Australian continent – and the globe. Each image explores an aspect of the devastating impact of colonisation on Australia’s First Nations peoples, and the global repercussions of environmental degradation.

The translation of the French in the title of this series, “Natures mortes” is dead nature. Yet in the simmering emotional register of each image lies an inherent belief in the individual over environment, and the redemptive nature of culture. MICHAEL COOK, Natures Mortes

Geraldine Brooks ‘In Conversation’ with Lisa Millar Featuring “Horse”

‘Horse’ is the latest masterpiece from a writer with a prodigious talent for bringing the past to life.  Gliding effortlessly across three places and three time settings – 1850s Kentucky, 1950s New York City and 2019 Washington DC – it’s a story that’s steeped in history, anchored in fact and has at its heart a fascinating unsolved mystery.

Film with Food ‘Delicious’

Slow Food Noosa invites you to view a joyous feast for the eyes, “Delicious”, a wonderful French Arthouse film.

Set on the Eve of the French Revolution in 1789, when gastronomy was strictly the domain of aristocrats, our culinary master, Pierre Manceron, is the in-house Chef for the Duke of Chamfort, bringing prestige, as well as delicious food, to this noble household. After a humiliating dismissal, Pierre gradually redevelops his passion for gourmet cuisine, climaxing in opening the first restaurant (ever) in France!

Also indulge in a delicious 3-course dinner, inspired by the film, prepared by 3 Chef’s led by food celebrity and past Slow Food Noosa President Matt Golinski, in the delightful ambience of Noosa Springs Country Club.

GRIGORYAN BROTHERS “This is Us”

A Musical Relfection of Australia.  Inspired by iconic objects from the National Museum of Australia, acclaimed guitarists, Slava and Leonard Grigoryan, have created an expansive, yet intimate, musical vision of what it means to be Australian.

The suite of music is crafted around 18 personally selected and culturally significant objects: ‘We chose artefacts that try to represent some of our First Nations’ history as well as colonisation, migration, innovation and stories of love and loss. We were deeply moved by all of them.’

This is the first time the Grigoryan Brothers will be performing an entire program of original works. A unique and truly poignant performance not to be missed.

Suitable – All ages
