Perth Trading Post
End your week and get ready for a fresh start on the right note: by meandering through a pretty Sunday market. Perth Trading Post is your go-to Sunday morning activity, buzzing with fresh local produce, rare vintage finds, and handcrafted artisanal goods. Held outdoors at Wellington Square, this vibrant community hub is perfect for families and friends looking to browse unique treasures, pick up gourmet produce or simply soak in the lively atmosphere.
Every Sunday, 8am to 12pm
Wellington Square, East Perth (Wittenoom Street side)
‘Spinifex People: Art and stories from Pila Nguru’ at the WA Museum
‘Spinifex People: Art and stories from Pila Nguru’ is a contemporary narrative with ancient origins, celebrating the creativity and resilience of a unique Aboriginal community through their art, images and voices. Featuring a stunning array of artworks, digital projections and film, it will transport you into the world of the Spinifex People and their lasting connection to Country. For thousands of years, they lived in a land that few outsiders ever saw. Then during the mid-1950s, British atomic bomb testing around the fringes of Spinifex Country led to the removal of the people from their homelands.
Visitors can view poignant pieces of artwork that represent their displacement during the testing, and the pivotal works that contributed to the community’s successful Native Title Determination in 2000.
Until 4th May
Perth Cultural Centre, Perth
