Lullaby: lullabies from around the world
Lullaby is a celebration and preservation of the lullaby, from everyday people of the Goulburn Valley.
We often know the lullabies of our own culture, but not those of others.
Through both audio and imagery, participants will be able to step into the shoes of those being serenaded to sleep.
Lullaby is a true celebration of the diverse and thriving languages and cultures of the Goulburn Valley.
The exhibition is on at Shepparton library until April 30.
