Pedro Wonaeamirri speaks and performs in Venice during the Biennale!

This year Pedro has been a Mordant Family BLAK C.O.R.E Fellow through the University of Melbourne’s Museums and Collections Department. As part of the fellowship Pedro travelled to Venice to speak with Jilamara manager Will Heathcote at the Indigenous Visions Forum during the Venice Biennale. They discussed Tiwi ceremonial culture and contemporary art making on the islands, as well as Pedro’s experiences visiting Tiwi historical collections around the world. After the symposium Pedro performed Tiwi song and dance at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection.
