Written In Skin

In celebration of NAIDOC Week 2019, a special Cultural event will be held at Pearl Cove Library.

Written In skin is a one of a kind event. A human living library is on offer to educate and inform attendees about the rich indigenous history of Scarification. This almost non-existent ritual is considered sacred and we ask that all attendees kindly submit their questions before the event so as to ensure they are appropriate and not unintentionally offensive or sensitive to answer.

A professor of Anthropology will be available to also answer any questions and will give an interesting perspective on how humans have used scarification, tattooing and other physical forms of illustration for centuries to identify and belong as part of a community.

A Tattoo artist will also bring fresh insight into the world of tattoo illustration and its evolution focusing on Gang affiliation Tattoos, Art, Religion and the Abstract.

There are only 75 Seats available for this unique event. If you are interested we advise that you reserve seats a.s.a.p. We hope you can join us.
