Ngiyanggarang features unique perspectives of individual experience from Wiradjuri Elders, Uncle Jimmy Ingram, Aunty Flo Grant, Dr. Uncle Stan Grant Sr. AM, and Gamilaroi Elder Aunty Betty Grant (nee Cameron).
These Elders present an understanding of life that permeates the Riverina, and the stories help us all comprehend the dynamic, transformed but unbroken continuity of the life of the Wiradjuri people who have lived here for millennia.
These newly-documented stories are narrated through film, illustration, animation and text and explore traditional stories about life before European settlement, the crisis of post-settlement and stories of resilience and the persistence of cultural values to the present.
Many stories reflect valuable life lessons such as choosing the right way to live, connection to family and country, the example of the Elders and following your dreams. Exhibition concludes September 16.
