Acknowledgement of Country

This acknowledgment was written by Mathilda after the Year 5 workshop with KESO Kira Peters on Wurundjeri culture. We also read Aunty Joy Murphy's book 'Welcome to Country',  listened to a Connect to Country meditation by young Wurundjeri Jedda and a video about the layers of Wurundjeri Country by Mandy Nicholson.

Join co-curator and contributing artist Zena Cumpston for a floor talk exploring ngaratya.

This is an opportunity to gain greater insight into the exhibition and the processes of its making, and of the many ways it offers a portal into Barkandji/Barkindji Country and culture.
