We pay our respects to the Gundungurra people who are the traditional custodians of the land, whose deepening connection to culture and customs have cared for this country for over 60,000 years.
We acknowledge Elders past, present and emerging for their immense spiritual connection to place which was never ceded.

Artist Jodie Whalen invites young people to engage with the site of Ngununggula, connect, and experience the world in a new way. Participants will take part in an interactive process led by their personal experiences to create a new portal for alternative ways of seeing and responding to our constantly changing environment.
The special program will explore nature, objects, colour, form, shapes and symbols inspired by Jodie’s artistic practice and our current exhibition, Ross & Rothwell: in the same boat. Participants will create portable frames, lenses and banners to explore their unique inner worlds using drawing, sculpture and textiles in experimental ways.
We have 6 FREE workshops available during the school holidays:
SUNDAY 14 APRIL: 10am - 12pm or 1pm - 3pm
MONDAY 15 APRIL: 10am - 12pm or 1pm - 3pm
TUESDAY 16 APRIL: 10am - 12pm or 1pm - 3pm
We encourage the ENTIRE FAMILY to participate, and if you can’t be here in person join us on Instagram by following @ngununggula.
