Djaara Youth Arts Workshop
DUMAWUL Creative Hub - 273-277 Hargreaves Mall
9.30am - 4pm Thursday 26th & Friday 27th June

 

Wawa Djaara Artists!

Are you aged 18 to 30 and ready to take an artistic step forwards? DUMAWUL is running a Djaara Art Workshop for young people to explore beginner-friendly painting and design. The workshop is also open to young people who are already skilled artists and are looking to expand on their skills.

Maybe you love art and have always wanted to learn how to create beautiful paintings, or perhaps you’ve already started working towards creating a name for yourself. Either way, every young person will leave the workshop with an artwork they have created over the two days. This work will then be digitised and printed onto a hoodie and t-shirt for you to take home.

During the two days there will be discussions about promoting your art, marketing yourself on social media, different techniques, and finding your artistic identity.

When: Thursday 26, and Friday 27 June 9.30am – 4pm

Where: DUMAWUL Creative Hub, 273-277 Hargreaves St, Bendigo

On Thursday, 1 May, people came together to celebrate the turn of the season—Wai-kalk (Golden Wattle) & Datim Datim (Boomerang) 🌿💛
DUMAWUL and City of Greater Bendigo hosted a lunchtime gathering at 12pm in Hargreaves Mall, Bendigo, honouring Dja Dja Wurrung knowledge, Culture, and Country.
Dja Dja Wurrung People (Djaara) have long recognised six seasons, each carrying deep ecological wisdom—guiding when to harvest, hunt, and Care for Country in harmony with complex climate conditions. Despite the disruption caused by the imposed four-season model during colonisation, this invaluable knowledge and practice continue to thrive.
This successful event brought together Indigenous and non-Indigenous workers from the region, allowing them to reflect and reconnect with place and season. Colleagues gathered with curiosity and lunch in hand, embracing the wisdom and traditions of the land.
The next changing of season will be Tuesday, 1 July, when we will welcome the Wanyarra (water) and Gurri (kangaroo) time. The rain is heavy and the waterholes fill. The creeks and rivers run high and spill over Djandak (Dja Dja Wurrung Country).
