6725 MUSIC PICTURE SHOW

from the 70's Kuckles Era of the Turtle Dingo Parrot

Thursday 25 June 2026 at GOOLARRI "Gimme Club " Broome

A CONCERT and EXHIBITION introducing a blueprint "ArtBook" welcoming you into a creative platform building journey. An event created by three 'team mates' - art driven oldies.

It is designed to gather around the idea of contributing positively in this divisive world, creating a Bran New Orleans-like Arts and Music Destination Economy across the Kimberley .

A legacy for a Nue Generation using a 'standing up' artist driven process for systematically and respectfully harnessing inter-organisation cooperation.

Such artist attraction services in planning, applied leading up to WA Bicentenary Celebrations in 2029, may emerge as a "Nue" Engagement Model for the Arts when aligned with a successful guiding principle from the 70's Kuckles era of the "Turtle Dingo Parrot", being - Identity/Enterprise/Quality.

the "three fellows" standing up and working towards a brand new creative platform after nearly five decades.

It is about legacy not another gig. A Music Picture Show with songs from the past, stimulating how we might create a Bran New Orleans-like Music and Art destination economy, in the Kimberley, together.

It's the standing up' artist's thinking and under-utilised professional attraction services that can gather people who don't get along. Inadvertent engaging and potential for opened imagination sharing can bring about unanticipated valued solutions.

There is a big difference between a boring dot point meeting report and a singalong earworm.

Attractive engagement can open up meaningful possibility. Well communicated debate tends to rally the spectacle of normalised probability. We have two eyes two ears...

Artist Statement / Bio for CACWA Board Member website

Geoﬀ Buchan is a visual artist and independent educator whose life was transformed by experiences in the Kimberley in the 1970s. As a young graduate from WAIT, he encountered radically diﬀerent ways of seeing, being and making art through the influence of respected bush-born Lawmen. This experience led him to help change lives for the better with 'under the radar' global reach.

As the Kimberley's first government art teacher, he was challenged to rethink the purpose and function of art in modern society. He was drawn to using art as a tool for festive crowd engagement by utilising artists' services to bring people together who might otherwise not interact.

Proposed for the WA Bicentenary, Geoff is working on a cooperation-based, four year plan for a Bran New Orleans-like Kimberley music and arts destination economy, honouring Jimmy Chi as a creative platform builder with an outside/online, art/info story telling in Broome.

He sees his job as taking people to see diﬀerently. His approach is termed 'Seeing Business'. To convey patterns of complex ideas where lines of words are insuﬃcient, he employs a practice he calls 'painterly diagramming'. This approach has been modelled into an open, visualised ternary management system called Visionbuilding, a creative and less adversarial approach in the search for solutions in todays conflicted world.

'70's encircling engagement dynamic beyond "them and us"

70's, engaging face to face, mouth talking to mouth, eye to eye, ear to ear,
connection with the past when cooperation drove change.

'must be' fishing in the background encircling the bay.
The bay of memory.
Midden memory of mouths that ate there before.

Musician role recognition, learning, and bringing youth along

Remembering Jimmy Chi the creative platform builder, and his massive contribution to the Broome economy over three decades through the Town's branding via the musical Bran Nue Dae.
