Are you a university student new to Australia and Melbourne and looking to learn more about First Peoples art, culture and histories?

The National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) and the Koorie Heritage Trust (KHT) invite you to join us for a series of social and creative programs that offer an engaging and vital grounding in First Peoples cultures.

Wurrdha Marra means ‘many mobs’ in the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung language and is the name given to the NGV’s dedicated space for the work of First Peoples artists from around Australia. Located in the Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia, the display offers a meeting point between contemporary and traditional practices and art forms, challenging preconceptions about First People’s art and design in Australia. Join a curator and NGV educator for an introduction to the exhibition and explore works of art from different times, places and communities. The session will include light refreshments served in the gallery cafe.

All levels of English are welcome, and no prior knowledge is required. Sessions are free but bookings are essential.
