Engage with the 65,000 Years exhibition with resources created by Ngarrngga
A suite of dedicated teaching resources are available to all faculties for exhibition, 65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art. These are developed in partnership with Ngarrngga, the Indigenous-led collaboration between the University of Melbourne’s Faculty of Education, Indigenous Knowledge Institute and Indigenous Studies Unit.
Ngarrngga is a Taungurung word meaning to know, to hear, to understand. The Ngarrngga vision is for all Australian students to have the opportunity to deeply connect with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge systems, histories and cultures.
A suite of these resources are available to University of Melbourne staff and student cohorts through Canvas. Please mc-academicengagement@unimelb.edu.au for details.
