Bagot

Darwin鈥檚 Bagot community launched its Painting Home Project on November 7. It was the culmination of a seven-week collaboration between Aboriginal artists, Bagot residents, street artists from as far away as Melbourne, and other arts and cultural workers.
Up to 200 Bagot community residents and supporters rallied outside Country-Liberal Party MLA Dave Tollner鈥檚 office on August 16, angry over his plans to 鈥渘ormalise鈥 their home. Bagot was a reserve established in 1938 and included a residential facility for Stolen Generations children.
