Organise your weekend with this handy hit list.
1. Wazza
Wazza is on show at Museum of the Riverina's Historic Council Chambers site until February 17.
He’s the Wisden of Wagga Wagga cricket who has been recognised with “local legend” status in the city’s Sporting Hall of Fame. Now Warren Smith’s life and times in the sport is the centrepiece of a new exhibition. The exhibition “Wazza: A Local Legend” explores the life and legacy of a mentor and pioneering cricket coach who has contributed so much to the sport at a local, state, national and international level.
2. STEAM the Museum
Showcasing at the Museum of the Riverina - Historic Council Chambers site.
Museum of the Riverina handed over control to school students to give them a taste of curating. Regional museum’s officer Samantha Leah said they have been working with a school group from Sturt Public School to curate an exhibition about local history all year. This new exhibition solves some of the puzzles of Wagga Wagga's history, using Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths.
3. Open Studio Gallery
The gallery will be open every Saturday from 10am to 3pm in Small Street.
Open Studio Gallery, previously Art on the Levee has relocated the exhibition to their gallery in Small Street, Wagga. Do not fear because every Saturday morning you can mingle with the artists, experience the artworks and purchase their painting.
4. Soda_Jerks’ TERROR NULLIS
TERROR NULLIUS will be screening on the hour, every hour at Wagga Art Gallery until February 10, 2019.
With the apocalyptic desert camps of Mad Max 2 the site of a refugee detention and feminist motorcycle gangs – TERROR NULLIUS is challenging the definition of what it means to be Australian. The film is a political revenge fable which is part political satire, eco-horror and road movie. Binding together a documentary impulse with the bent plotlines of Australian film texts, Soda_Jerk’s revisionist history opens a willful narrative space where cinema fictions and historical facts permeate each other in new ways. The apocalyptic desert camps of Mad Max 2 become the site of refugee detention, feminist motorcycle gangs rule the highways and flesh-eating sheep are recast as anti-colonial insurgents.
5. Wagga Parkrun
Saturday, December 29, from 8am to 11am at Apex Park, Lake Albert.
Parkrun is a free, weekly, timed five kilometre run or walk that takes place at hundreds of locations across Australia. No matter your age or fitness level, parkrun is for everyone, so get your runners ready. Wagga's weekly park run is held at Lake Albert and aims to tackle inactivity and support community connection through free, social activities.
