BOOKING REQUIRED
Focus on First Nations is a full-day Professional Learning program for teachers that connects historic and contemporary First Nations art and design with classroom teaching and learning. Explore key works in the NGV Collection with an NGV Curator and hear from multidisciplinary artist Jenna Lee about her inspiration and practice. Join NGV educators on the gallery floor to practice using art as a starting point to introduce and explore First Nations perspectives in your classroom. The day will conclude with a presentation by artist and academic Tiriki Onus about respectful approaches to engaging with First Nations perspectives and an opportunity for reflection.

This program takes place in The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia’s dedicated display of First Nations art, Wurrdha Marra —meaning ‘Many Mobs’ in the Woi Wurrung language. The display offers a meeting point between contemporary and traditional practices and art forms, challenging preconceptions about First Nations art and design in Australia.
