Ngarn Wa’ngal: Art of the gum tree

Ngarn Wa'ngal: Art of the gum tree invites you to explore this iconic tree as a source of creative inspiration branching across centuries of artistic practice.

Translating as breathing for us in Woi Wurrung, Ngarn Wa'ngal celebrates the deep cultural and ecological significance of the eucalypt. Over three floors, this expansive exhibition brings together colonial, twentieth century and contemporary works, sparking broader conversations about identity, sovereignty, climate and continuity.

Curated by Alisa Bunbury, Senior Curator of the Grimwade Collection at the University of Melbourne, and Guest Curator Sophie Gerhard.‌‍‍
