We acknowledge and pay respect to the Traditional Owners of the lands upon which our campus is situated, the people of the Boon Wurrung and Woi Wurrung, who have created art, made music and told their stories here for thousands of generations. We also acknowledge and extend our respect to the Traditional Owners of all lands on which our work is viewed, shared and enjoyed, and to all Elders, past, present and emerging.

Honours

Nicholas Currie is a descendant of the Mununjali clan of the Yugambeh language group. Painting, sculpture and performance are the key aspects to Currie’s practice. Humour and kindness are undercurrents to the major themes addressed in the works, those themes being of contemporary Indigenous perspectives, hauntology and exploration of life within current so-called Australia.

"I like to make art and live my life."
