National Reconciliation Week Family Art Workshop

with Jenna Oldaker

Join us for a special workshop with Wadawurrung artist Jenna Oldaker from Murrup Art. Learn about Wadawurrung culture and decorate your own tote bag to take home! Bookings essential.

Children and young people are invited to bring a special grown-up, carer or elder to a Reconciliation Week art session with Wadawurrung Traditional Owner and Visual Artist Jenna Oldaker. 

Jenna Oldaker is a Wadawurrung Traditional Owner and Aboriginal artist, based in Ballarat on Wadawurrung Country. An emerging artist in the field of visual arts, Jenna explores the sacred traditions of storytelling, culture and heritage through her brightly coloured and joyful artworks. Jenna creates works under the name ‘Murrup Art’ - ‘Murrup’ being the Wadawurrung word for spirit, which is fitting as Jenna’s art comes from the sacred tradition of storytelling told by her ancestors and their spirits. Through her art, Jenna expresses her deep connection and love for her Aboriginal culture, Country, and heritage. Every piece created by Jenna comes from her heart and strong connection to her family and mob. Her passion is to create each work with its own individual story and meaning, and also to educate others about Wadawurrung culture and Country. All artworks are named in Traditional Wadawurrung language, as a further means of helping facilitate shared learning of First Nations culture and heritage.

National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia every single day.
