Join us this NAIDOC week for a special screening of the Unfinished Business Documentary at Doncaster Library.
This moving documentary tells the stories of 30 First Nations people living with disabilities. Their deeply personal stories are complex and intertwined with Australia’s political and social history, which has resulted in today’s unacceptably high rates of disability in Australia’s First Nations Communities.
Their stories are also featured in the Unfinished Business exhibition, which is showing at Manningham Art Gallery until Saturday 29 July.
Following the screening, there will be a Q&A with Uncle John Baxter: Latja Latja/Narungga man, Board Member Reconciliation Victoria and First Peoples Disability Network, Aboriginal Partnership Coordinator - Brotherhood of St Laurence/NDIS, participant and creative collaborator of Unfinished Business.
Attendees will also have the chance to view the exhibition at their own pace.
The Unfinished Business Documentary is a creative collaboration between brothers, Liam and Dieter Knierim, Belinda Mason Knierim OAM, and participants.
This is a free and accessible event. Bookings not required. Refreshments will be provided.
Warning: First Nations peoples should be aware that this exhibition contains images, voices, or names of deceased persons.
If you require an Auslan interpreter to attend this event, please let us know by Friday 30 June, at 9840 9367 or gallery@manningham.vic.gov.au.
Between the Details: Video Art from the ACMI Collection presents Bayi Gardiya - Singing Desert by Dr Christian Thompson AO
In this 360-degree video experience, Christian Thompson invites audiences to walk through the landscape of his childhood. Here they will witness a simple yet profound aesthetic gesture of the artist singing in his traditional Bidjara language, a recognised lost language.
“If I sing even one word of our language, which is considered an extinct or lost language, then it can’t be described as such, because it is being presented as a living language within the art context” - Christian Thompson
See the full program at Between the Details: Video Art from the ACMI Collection.
For further information contact Manningham Art Gallery, gallery@manningham.vic.gov.au or call 9840 9367.
To experience this 360-degree work, please visit the Creative Lab located on the mezzanine floor of Doncaster Library, accessible via the lift in the junior area. There will be a staff member there to assist. Suitable for all ages.

There are a range of health and support services, programs and resources to support our community.
These community-based agencies and organisations provide emergency relief and material aid such as food hampers, vouchers and pantries to people in financial crisis living in Manningham as part of the Food Relief Network.
Homelessness and crisis accommodation and support
We take a dignity first approach to homelessness, recognising that homelessness or sleeping rough in public places is not illegal. With the ever-increasing cost of living, and any one of a number of life changing events, people can find themselves needing crisis accommodation when they least expect it.
We work closely with a range of service providers to enable people experiencing homelessness, sleeping rough and/or needing crisis accommodation to find a safe place to rest.
If you do have a welfare concern for a person who appears to be experiencing homelessness and/or sleeping rough, contact us on 9840 9333 and we will make a referral to the appropriate service provider.
The following community agencies provide crisis accommodation and support:
If emergency assistance is required or a person is suspected of committing an offence or is engaged in any illegal activity, the matter should immediately be reported to the Victoria Police on 000.
Our community is diverse with residents from more than 140 countries.
Mental health is a state of emotional, social, and psychological wellbeing. It affects how we think, feel and act. It also impacts how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices.
Find support with our online resource directory.
