A dedicated Aboriginal cultural space will be established at the Museum of Sydney, the site of the first Government House in NSW
The Musuem of Sydney, the site of Australia’s first Government House will be transformed into an Indigenous cultural space dedicated to the culture and history of Aboriginal people.
A dedicated Aboriginal Cultural Space will be established at the Museum of Sydney, the site of First Government House in NSW.The site’s existing collection will be reinterpreted and contextualised to represent Aboriginal stories and perspectives by shining a spotlight on Indigenous languages as living culture.
“The decisions made and actions taken at the first Government House had profound and long-lasting impacts on Aboriginal people across this country and region. “Our history matters and it is filled with moments both dark and delightful. To acknowledge our past effectively, we need spaces where difficult truths and uncomfortable perspectives are free to be expressed,” Franklin said.
“Together, we hold unparalleled documentation of our past; what happened, where it happened, how it happened and why it happened.“There’s an expectation from community to bridge the gap between institutions and community and we want to do as much as we can to make what we have as accessible, honest and relevant as we can,” White said.
