Ngarrama - To sit, listen and know

This exhibition celebrates Newcastle largest reconciliation event, – a night of truth and reflection held on the eve of Survival Day.

Recognising our unique place, and life, in Mooloobinba Country before 1788, Ngarrama pays respect to the richness and resilience of First Nations culture – in particular the Awabakal and Worimi people, the traditional owners of the land upon which Newcastle now stands. In anticipation of next year’s Ngarrama event, this exhibition highlights people, performances, images, and stories from past gatherings, and welcomes everyone to Ngarrama in 2025.
