'barangga' is an ongoing community engagement program that celebrates design and making practices as a vital form of cultural knowledge in First Nations Communities. This year's program is a two-day event focused on designing for and with Country in the public realm. It considers how Cultural Custodians transform the precious for the public domain.
This program aims to facilitate respectful and honest discussions between First Nations and non-First Nations participants working across public art initiatives. Together they reflect on the opportunities and tensions that arise across contracting, policy, and stakeholder collaboration in the implementation and delivery of public art projects.
Led by Nicole Monks, Coby Edgar and Zoe Sims.
The project’s title is drawn from the Dharawal word ‘barangga’ meaning ‘large vessel’ or ‘island’. It speaks to the significance of design and making in First Nations practices, while embodying the notion of holding space for Community.
‘barangga: First Nations Design’ is presented in partnership with UNSW Galleries and UNSW Art & Design. The program is supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW.
