installation view, Bronwyn Razem, Gunditjmara Country.

  Deepen students understanding and appreciation of First Nations arts and culture through engagement with our Maar Nation Gallery.

Guided by an Educator, this inquiry-led program will explore the work of Gunditjmara master weaver Bronwyn Razem. Born and raised in Warrnambool and currently residing in Geelong on Wadawurrung Country, Razem is recognised as a leading cultural figure in the revival and sharing of the traditional weaving techniques of the region.

In this guided tour students will explore how Razem creates contemporary artworks using traditional weaving skills passed on through maternal lineage and her deep connection to culture and country. They will gain an expanded knowledge of the creation and use of eel traps and the use of symbolism in First Nations culture.

Guided tour by Artist Educator (free) - 30 min – 25 students per group (multiple groups welcome)

Expand students understanding and appreciation of First Nations arts and culture with a hands-on art making session with a Maar Nation artist in our studio.
