Her Name is Nanny Nellie – NAIDOC Week film screening and panel discussion

To mark NAIDOC Week, the Eureka Centre presents 'Her Name is Nanny Nellie' - a moving and timely film by Daniel King. In 1925 the Australian Museum commissioned three statues of Aboriginal people: a child, a man and a woman, to be exhibited and studied as nameless objects. The woman was Nellie Bunjil Walker, Aunty Irene Ridgeway's great-grandmother. This documentary follows Aunty Irene as she retraces Nellie's life and seeks to understand her times. A discussion will follow the film screening.
