Where:     Level 2
When:      Open daily 10am – 4.30pm

Unsettled: Power through Poetry

You can also check out Unsettled - a FREE exhibition that uncovers the untold histories behind this nation’s foundation story. Your primary and secondary school aged children can engage with the exhibition through Power through Poetry - an activity book that has been designed to deepen your engagement with Unsettled as you look, listen, and reflect. Be inspired by the poems of First Nations artists that respond to the themes in this powerful exhibition, then use the prompts and activities to create your own poems.
