DHULWA/BANKSIA re leaf EXHIBITION
Banksias demonstrate strong connection to the land and their leaves symbolise strength, individuality and hope.
The exhibition of ceramic works extends beyond the representation of the beauty and variety of the leaves of a wide range of Banksias in the Australian National Botanic Gardens, to the symbolic use and personal and historic references.
EXHIBITION OPENING
Join with others for the formal opening of the exhibition on Saturday afternoon from 2-3pm, Gallery, Visitor Services Centre, Australian National Botanic Gardens.
