About this event

This exhibition highlights the c.1882 Queanbeyan Perseverance Lodge Banner, on public display for the first time in over 50 years. Also on exhibition is a First Nations quilt and two large community textiles which reflect the development of the Jerrabomberra and Letchworth communities within the Queanbeyan region. These cultural objects promote dialogue and represent change in the Queanbeyan communities over time.

This exhibition forms part of the 2026 Australian and Queanbeyan-Palerang Heritage Festivals.
