Young Mob Excelling

Djaa Djuwima (meaning ‘to show, share Country’ in Dja Dja Wurrung language) is a dedicated and permanent First Nations Gallery at the Bendigo Visitor Centre on Pall Mall. For First Nations artists, this is a safe place for creative and cultural expression, to explore identity, heritage and connection.

Djaa Djuwima provides a prominent platform to see Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, customs and stories not seen anywhere else, with each creative bringing their own unique style using traditional and contemporary methods.

The current exhibition, Young Mob Excelling, tells the stories of First Nations youth who are making their mark across a range of activities. Included in the exhibition are photos and profiles, along with memorabilia and original artworks.
