Funded Activity Summary
More than a guulany (tree): Aboriginal knowledge systems . This project aims to produce an Indigenous-led study of the significance of trees in southeast Australian Aboriginal cultures by investigating historical and contemporary sources. The project expects to identify new evidence of this significance and generate new methods in art-making and exhibition development to improve the awareness and understanding of Indigenous cultural heritage. This should provide significant benefits such as better recognition of the complexities of southeast Australian Aboriginal cultures, improved access for Aboriginal communities to cultural materials in institutional collections and new insights and resources for arts, heritage and museum professionals to engage appropriately with Indigenous cultural heritage.Funded Activity Details
