‘Billy Benn - Before I go home’ on from 16 August to 6 September.
Saturday was a profound moment for family and friends of Billy Benn and Bindi Mwerre Anthurre Artists. ‘Before I go home’ is the first exhibition of Benn’s work in a decade and is a powerful tribute to his ongoing legacy.
Thank you to the Benn family for entrusting the community and Bindi Enterprises with this legacy.
Bindi would also like to thank the team at 8 Hele for all their work, Kelli Cole for speaking and staff member Sandra Brown for your powerful speech, given with the support of Billy Benn’s daughter Sandra Benn.
Without Billy Benn there would be no Bindi Mwerre Anthurre Artists. It’s impossible to measure his ongoing impact; we hope you can make it to 8 Hele to take in the breadth of this stunning body of work.
