PAST EVENTS & HERSTORY

Womyn's Creative Adventures began in late 2005 with a group of friends meeting to learn mix-media in Sydney, Australia. This gathering sparked the idea of Creative Womyn Down Under. Since 2006 we have organised creative events, concerts, festivals & retreats, and maintained an online network of information and resource sharing on women and creative expression. Some of our Creative Adventures and events are listed below.

KERRIANNE COX CONCERT  with Jacinta Tobin
Saturday 5 November 2011

Creative Womyn Down Under hosted a wonderful night of powerful womyn’s music, attended by a full house. Everyone enjoyed inspiring music and activism in an Inner West Sydney home. Kerrianne Cox is an internationally renowned independent Original Sovereign Ngombarl performing artist of Australia. Her signature song, Beagle Bay Dreaming, has brought her beloved home and country - Beagle Bay in the remote North West Kimberley region of WA - into the hearts and minds of people all over the world.  Kerrianne delighted and informed the 1000-strong audience at CWDU’s 2011 Lesbians in the House Concert.  Visit her website at www.kerriannecox.com

JACINTA TOBIN opened for Kerrianne's concert. She has a Master of Social Ecology and has worked in the Aboriginal Community for over 10years. She has worked to raise the issues of the Child protection; environmental destruction and Darug people her family’s history. Jacinta has a strong connection and unbroken women’s line to her traditional lands of the Darug people and takes comfort in the Blue Mountains were she resides.

A dvd of this concert is now available as a fundraiser for a local women's project.  Contact us to find out more. With much thanks to the wonderful Mystie Ford for the recording and production. The night also included an affirmation written and sung by Ini.
