Unit of Work 102085: Social Injustice: Post-colonial perspectives (stage 4)


Site Details: The Australian Museum. 1 William St, Sydney NSW 2010

Site Description:

Founded in 1827, the Australian Museum (AM) was first located on Bent Street, Sydney. In 1846 building commenced on this site and the
Australian Museum as we know it today opened in 1849. Housing two primary Indigenous exhibitions the ‘Garrigarrang: Sea Country’ and
‘Bayala Nura: Yarning Country’. The ‘Garrigarrang: Sea Country’ exhibition, tells the story of the Indigenous Australians' deep connections
with the sea. It explores the diverse spiritual beliefs, values and complex knowledge systems passed down through the generations. The AM
offers students the opportunity to explore the complex themes of first contacts, spirituality, sustainability, caring for Sea Country whilst
maintaining knowledge and traditional perspectives. The ‘Bayala Nura: Yarning Country’ exhibition, explores Indigenous history within
Australia whilst highlighting the Indigenous people’s deep connection with land, celebrating Indigenous cultural diversity in Australia. The AM
utilises ICT through videos and touchscreens, hands on activities and flipped classroom activities creating an interactive experience for students.

It has become less accessible for students from Western Sydney to visit sites the AM, resulting in students from Western Sydney lacking one on
one experiences with indigenous historical and cultural artefacts, cultural capital. This sight draws upon and emphasises strong links between the
Indigenous people’s connection with land and sea, allowing students to establish their own links with country and identity.
