Djaa Djuwima meaning ‘to show, share Country’ in Dja Dja Wurrung language is a dedicated and permanent First Nations Gallery at the Bendigo Visitor Centre on Pall Mall in the former Post Office Gallery space.

For First Nations artists, this is a safe place for creative and cultural expression, to explore identity, heritage and connection.

Past exhibitions include, Gurangarr Dja Dja Wurrung Djayi (‘you are on/in Dja Dja Wurrung Country’) and Listening to Our Elders.

The current exhibition, Strength in Stories: This is what we do is a celebration of the artistic talents of First Nations Men, Brotherboys, and Youth via various mediums including wood carving and building, painting, body adornment and digital art.

This exhibition features artists: Alvin Briggs, Bill Whitbread, Justin Sampi, Mick Harding, Stephen Korp, Simon Briggs, Paul Chapman, Tylajae Chavat, Nathan Phillips and Arcade Miller.

Strength in Stories: This is what we do is open daily until Monday 22 January 2024 (except Christmas Day).
