Singer-songwriter Kee’ahn and DJ Soju Gang will perform at the National Gallery of Victoria this Saturday (9th July) as part of the gallery’s NAIDOC Week celebrations.
Taking place at the NGV’s Ian Potter Centre, Kee’ahn will perform from 12pm in the Indigenous Art from the NGV Collection exhibition. Kee’ahn, a Kuku Yalanji, Jirrbal, and Zenadth musician, was the recipient of the Archie Roach Award at the 2020 National Indigenous Music Awards courtesy of her original soul and R&B-inspired songs.
