ngaratya (together, us group, all in it together)

ngaratya (together, us group, all in it together) brings together new works by six Barkandji/Barkindji artists who have aspired as a group to make Barkandji/Barkindji Country an active participant in their project. The artists travelled together across vast stretches of their ancestral Country in New South Wales and spent time engaging with cultural landscapes, Elders, community and each other. Their travels provided a rich foundation for the creation of their works across diverse mediums, which explore and illuminate their ancestral connection to Barkandji/Barkindji Country. Although their Country and people have suffered through the ongoing pressures of colonisation, ngaratya is a journey of love, empowerment, respect and connection.

ngaratya (together, us group, all in it together) is a Bunjil Place Gallery exhibition, curated by Nici Cumpston and Zena Cumpston, touring with NETS Victoria. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government’s Visions of Australia program and received development assistance from NETS Victoria’s Exhibition Development Fund, supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.

The project’s co-curator and participating artist Nici Cumpston is also Artistic Director of Tarnanthi at the Art Gallery of South Australia. AGSA has included ngaratya in Tarnanthi 2025 because of its artistic merit as a significant collective Barkandji/Barkindji project.
