Music of the Month: Jen Cloher

Join us for an unforgettable Music of the Month in the opening weekend of 'Ever Present: First Peoples Art of Australia'. Set to be one of our most meaningful and memorable performances yet, we are thrilled to host celebrated Naarm/Melbourne-based songwriter Jen Cloher [they/she] (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Kahu). Reflecting the spirit of cross-Tasman collaboration in the staging of the exhibition here in Aotearoa, Jen Cloher’s gig will be the first in a series of upcoming Music of the Month performances which strive to build connections between our neighbouring Indigenous creative cultures. Uniquely positioned with a foot of understanding in each country, Jen Cloher’s recently released fifth album, I Am The River, The River Is Me, draws upon their matrilineal wāhine Māori heritage. They have been described as ‘A modern day Patti Smith whose brutally honest, politically charged lyrics mark her out as one of the most interesting and important artists of her day’ (The Independent, United Kingdom).

Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to experience visual art and soul-stirring music together – book your spot today. Join us as we embark on a journey of cultural exploration, celebration and connection at 'Ever Present: First Peoples Art of Australia'.
