Residency Museum
➔ Event Details

Come join us for a very special Welcome to Country to open our festival with our very own Menang Elder Aunty Vern Gillies.

Walk through our beginnings from the Nyitting (cold) time until now, and learn a small part of Menang history prior and post white settlement – how things began and where we are today.

The story in the residency museum talks about marginalisation and rejection, but also about the strength and resilience of our people.  It demonstrates that we can work together and overcome any obstacle. 

These are common themes with our Queer community, so come listen to Aunty Vern for another wonderful hour of a truth telling walk through history.

Albany Pride Festival ALBANY PRIDE is proudly and unapologetically inclusive of the entire spectrum of the Queer community, and gives its thanks and respect to our Queer elders who fought for the freedoms and rights we enjoy today.
Acknowledgement of Country Albany Pride Festival acknowledges the Menang People of the Noongar Nation, the traditional owners and custodians of the land on which we work, and we pay respect to Elders past and present across this great nation, and on the lands we call Australia.
