This is a series of events, starting from 

• 4pm: Artist and curator talk from Kait James and Aaron Bradbrook 
  

  Join artist Kait James in conversation with curator Aaron Bradbrook in the gallery to hear about Kait James: Red Flags. 

  Kait James: Red Flags is Wadawurrung artist Kait James’ most ambitious solo exhibition to date. Since 2018, James has been carving out a unique visual language based in the reappropriation of racialised products. Colloquially identified as ‘Aboriginalia’, these mass-produced, commercial objects range from souvenir tea towels and pennant flags to children’s dolls and ceramic figurines. Primarily created from the 1950s through to the 1980s for consumption by non-Indigenous tourists, they depict culturally insensitive and racially stereotyped imagery, designs and motifs.  

  Kait James: Red Flags is a Warrnambool Art Gallery exhibition, curated by Aaron Bradbrook and touring nationally with NETS Victoria.

• 6pm: Official opening of both exhibitions
  
  Join artist Kait James and Tamworth NAIDOC Committee - Dhurranmay-Gal Dhirrabuu pays tribute to, the Outstanding Leaders from our First Nations Community.
