As part of National Reconciliation Week events, Djon Mundine OAM will present Bungaree’s Farm on Wednesday, 1 June in the Flinders University Drama Centre.

Bungaree, a Guringai man well-known in colonial Sydney, was recruited by Matthew Flinders in 1799 to mediate with Aboriginal people along the coast on an expedition to Moreton and Hervey Bays. Earning Flinders’ trust and respect, he then joined the famous circumnavigation of the continent in 1802-03.

Bungaree’s Farm is a projection created by Djon Mundine in 2014-15 with emerging and established Aboriginal artists Daniel Boyd, Blak Douglas (aka Adam Hill), Karla Dickens, Leah Flanagan, Amala Groom, Warwick Keen, Peter McKenzie, Caroline Oakley, Bjorn Stewart, Leanne Tobin, Jason Wing, Chantelle Woods and Sandy Woods.

The 5pm lecture will be followed by the screening of Bungaree’s Farm at 6pm.

Djon Mundine, a member of the Bandjalung people of northern New South Wales, is a curator, writer, artist and activist. Bungaree’s Farm was originally commissioned and first presented by Mosman Art Gallery.

This event is presented for National Reconciliation Week 2016 by Flinders University Art Museum with the Office of Indigenous Strategy and Engagement, Flinders Institute for Research in the Humanities and Flinders Events.
