Djaa Djuwima

Description

Djaa Djuwima is a dedicated and permanent First Nations Gallery on Dja Dja Wurrung Country.

This is an exciting and important cultural step in reconciliation, to better understand, recognise and respect the living culture and creativity of our Traditional Custodians of the land. Djaa Djuwima means to ‘show, share Country’ in Dja Dja Wurrung language.

For First Nations artists, this is a safe place for creative and cultural expression, to explore identity, heritage and connection.

Djaa Djuwima is owned and managed by the City of Greater Bendigo.

Exhibitions are curated by the Arts Officer First Nations who is supported by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists and Elders through the Wartaka group (‘meeting with purpose’).
