Boon Warrung Tree

 

As a branch of Tree Story, Tree School (11-23 March 2021) was an ongoing communal learning experience centred around the Boon Wurrung Tree. The scar tree demonstrates the depth of Indigenous knowledge about the body and the regeneration of nature. Tree School intends to ‘decolonise, unlearn and relearn’.

First Stories 

 

Monash Museum of Modern Art (MUMA) and renowned Aboriginal artist, Hayley Millar-Baker (Gunditjmara), collaborated with Museums Victoria and students from Melbourne Indigenous Transition School (MITS) on a unique art project which we documented.

Exploring culture and Country under Hayley’s inspiring eye, the students created artworks that tell their stories – including highlighting their personal totem animal.
