Another of the exhibitions currently at BAMM is ‘Generations in Pattern and Paint’, which speaks to the enduring connections between culture and family – what is passed down, what is remembered and what continues to grow through creative expression.
Elizabeth Munro, a proud Gomeroi woman, born in 1962 in Moree, was raised at Mehi Mission alongside her eleven siblings. That place, where connection to family, culture and community was formed, remains at the heart of her practice.
Beginning her art journey at Moree TAFE, what started as learning new skills became something much deeper. Through painting and the creation of handcrafted dolls, Munro tell stories grounded in culture, ceremony and lived experience.
Her painted patterns carry meaning, drawing on memory and identity. Each mark is thoughtful and intentional, connected to generations before her and generations to come. Her dolls, also marked with ceremonial patterns, represent living presence—they hold story, spirit and continuity in physical form.
Munro says, ‘Art has helped me navigate personal loss, and honour the people and places that have shaped my life. It allows me to carry my family with me, to remember and to keep those connections strong. Through this work, I share not only my story, but a broader story of resilience, strength and belonging.’
Exhibition: until 5 September
