Our Places - Our Faces | 8 June – 24 June 2007

The Marra Mob are a group of Aboriginal people from a variety of regions all living in the Blue Mountains region.

We have local Dharug and Gundungurra artists represented as well as people from Wiradjuri, Ngiyampaa, Gamillaroi, Bundjalung, Tharawal, Barkindji and Yidinji countries.

Four members of the group were selected as finalists for the 2006 Parliament of New South Wales Indigenous Art Prize. In 2007, Varuna, the Writers House in Katoomba, has provided a mentor for one of our members to assist with the draft for her first book.

The artists have won awards and sold many of their artworks at local and regional exhibitions. Members include performing artists, visual artists, dancers, didgeridoo players, writers and singers, some of which have performed at state and national levels.
