Our Ngurang (Home) Program Exhibition

Bathurst Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) presents the 2025 Our Ngurang (Home) Program Exhibition

In 2025, BRAG partnered with Wiradyuri Elders, Artists, and Community to develop and deliver the Our Ngurang (Home) Program - an education program for students and teachers across Wiradyuri County in the Bathurst Region.

With a local focus on our shared home of Wiradyuri Country, students from Blayney Public School participated in a year-long learning program of art, culture, and language workshops with Wiradyuri/Kamilaroi artist Jonathan Jones, Wiradyuri Elder Wirribee Aunty Leanna Carr, Wiradyuri artist Jessica Leffley, and Yiri Sue Rice.

Students learned about Country, Wiradyuri Lore, and art made by contemporary Wiradyuri artists. Each student chose a native totem animal that they best align with, and explored what they can do individually to protect our rivers and environment to protect these animals. Students' learnings are shared in their body of work on display in the 2025 Our Ngurang (Home) Program Exhibition.
