The City of Ballarat, BADAC and CAFS will commemorate the National Day of Healing (Sorry Day) and Reconciliation Week 2025 with a powerful photographic exhibition as guided by Ballarat Elder Uncle Murray Harrison and Stolen Generations survivors.
Loan of The TAKEN exhibition is generously provided by photographer and author David G. Jones. We will have, with permissions granted by survivors from Ballarat including Uncle Murray Harrison, Charmaine Clarke and Peter Kennedy and families, a small selection of the images exhibited at BADAC's Tree Room from 26th May to early June 2025.
The selection of the Taken photographs on exhibition features local and national Stolen Generations victims from across Australia. This photo book can be loaned from Ballarat and Central Highlands libraries with library membership.
