First Nations arts workers will be able to share their cultural knowledge under a new fellowship that will see them travel to the Netherlands and have access to the second largest collection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art outside of Australia.
The Nguluway Dhuluyarra Fellowship is the result of a partnership between the National Gallery of Australia, the Embassy of the Netherlands and the Wereldmuseum in Leiden.Its goal is to foster cross cultural learnings through engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and cultures in Australia and the Netherlands.
The Senior Curator of First Nations Art at the National Gallery, Tina Baum, is the first recipient of the Nguluway Dhuluyarra Fellowship.
"It's the first time that we're going to have this type of fellowship and it's really exciting that we can offer the possibility to other people from other countries but specially here in this case from a First Nations people to see how an overseas museum works, how we deal with some of the issues, museum issues but also how we work with Indigenous collections."
