About the Event

10am - 2pm 

Bidhiinja invites the audience to learn about the benefits that healthy oyster reefs provide to communities and the environment. See the future of our healthy Australian coasts in a beautiful exhibition combining First Nations knowledge, western science, and design, including work by exhibition artist and Yaegl woman Frances Belle Parker.

The augmented reality (AR) enabled exhibition allows you to bring an oyster reef to life across the panels, and interactives invite you to see what can be found in a midden, turn the wheel to see what a healthy ecosystem looks like, or open the door to explore the art and design of oyster shell.
