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.
Immerse yourself in traditional First Peoples culture with Sammy Trist, a proud and passionate Taungurung woman of the Kulin Nation. Sammy and her friend will introduce you to Bush Tucker (seasonal Indigenous natural bush foods) and then make with you a small floral bouquet or wreath using Australian flowers.
Listen, learn, share, eat and make together. All materials are supplied. Light catering is also provided.
All levels of English are welcome, and no prior knowledge is required. Sessions are free but bookings are essential.
