On Behalf of the Chancellor, Professor Tom Calma AO & the Pro Vice-Chancellor Indigenous, Professor Peter Radoll, please join us for the annual Ngunnawal Lecture presented by Mr Troy Rugless, Founder & CEO of PSG Holdings.
The Ngunnawal Lecture Series is about giving voice to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander views on the many topics that shape their communities and Australia as a whole.
We are also delighted to share that for the first time in history, the Pintubi Nine art display will be available for viewing on the evening. This incredible art display will mesmerise your senses and take you on a journey of ancestral landscapes and Indigenous history.
You will hear from philanthropist Mr Richard Rolfe AM about the Pintubi 9 Art Collection and the incredible story behind the art. After some canapes, drinks and live music you will hear from Mr Troy Rugless about his incredible journey in business.
Additional Information
About the Pintubi Nine Art Display
The works of art on display at UC represent a group of paintings created by members of the Pintubi Nine family and as such is the first time in Australian history that they have been brought together and exhibited in one place. The works illustrate aspects of the ancestral landscape known to the family and clan. Following their exhibition at UC, the works will be toured across a number of cities in Europe to promote Australian Indigenous art and culture.
UC acknowledges the Ngunnawal people, traditional custodians of the lands where Bruce campus is situated. We wish to acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and the contribution they make to the life of Canberra and the region. We also acknowledge all other First Nations Peoples on whose lands we gather.
