This event introduces a special issue of iJADE dedicated to the examination of contemporary methodologies for researching art and design education.

The landmark exhibition 65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art, celebrating 65,000 years of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, will open at the Potter Museum of Art in Melbourne this May, revealing the brilliance of Indigenous art while calling for conversation and truth-telling about Australia's shared histories.
As educators prepare to engage with this extraordinary exhibition, Ngarrngga is proud to unveil the first booklet in a comprehensive three-part education resource series.
Within its pages, educators will find information to help them prepare to facilitate meaningful explorations of the rich tapestry of Indigenous art and knowledge systems on display.
This blog piece explains how Ngarrngga’s methodology for educational resource creation informs and shapes our approach and framework for bringing Indigenous and Western worldviews into conversation.
For this event, Ngarrngga curriculum experts delve deeper into the creation of, and ways of working with the gallery tours and curriculum resources connected to the 65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art exhibition.

This blog explores Ngarrngga’s model for resource creation, the intentional design behind it, and how it empowers educators to overcome challenges they may encounter in showcasing Indigenous Knowledge authentically and respectfully.
This article presents Ngarrngga’s bespoke framework for interpreting and enacting curriculum. We discuss this in relation to our approach for working with Indigenous Knowledge.
We explain the rationale and key features of our framework and demonstrate how we use this to foreground Indigenous Knowledge as the basis for making specific and meaningful connections with curriculum in our education resources.
This article introduces the foundation of one part of Ngarrngga’s transformative work; its approach for bringing curriculum to life through the practice of designing and creating educational resources.
For this event, the exhibition curators team up with Ngarrngga to introduce 65,000 Years and provide an overview of available gallery tours and online curriculum resources. This session will support your engagement with the exhibition and general classroom teaching.
