As part of our NAIDOC 2026 celebrations, join us for a special exhibition celebrating family, culture, and the work of two generations side by side.
‘Babin Wandaang – Father’s Spirit’ showcases the artwork of acclaimed Waradjuri artist Uncle Kevin Williams alongside his son, emerging Waradjuri and Gunnai Kurnai artist Brayden Williams. This proudly marks the first father and son exhibition presented at Baluk Arts.
Babin Wandaang means Father’s Spirit and reflects the deep cultural knowledge and creative connections passed down through generations of their family.
Reflecting on the exhibition, Uncle Kevin shares, “The exhibition has been inspired by the Spirit of my Father and my Grandfather. It is from their support and influence over the many years growing up around them watching them and seeing them firsthand what they did and how they created their artwork and artifacts that we are able to create the artwork for this exhibition.”
Uncle Kevin Williams has been a professional artist for over 40 years. His artworks notably feature Waradjuri Markings, which along with his childhood growing up at Narrandera and Warangesda Mission at Darlington Point, on Waradjuri country, play a significant role in shaping his artistic practice. His artwork is widely collected and has been exhibited nationally and internationally.
This exhibition marks a significant milestone as the first major exhibition for Brayden Williams. Drawing inspiration from abstract impressionism, the environment, and the stories shared by his grandparents, Brayden’s paintings are layered with bold colour and movement. Select works incorporate Waradjuri markings, reflecting his connection to culture and family.
We warmly invite you to join us for opening celebrations on Saturday 4th of July from 2pm.
Meet the artists and hear from them firsthand as they share the stories and inspirations behind their artwork and creative practice. Uncle Kevin and Brayden will also present an artist talk at 2.45pm.
We hope you can join us. For any enquiries, please contact [email protected]
