‘Djamu’ is a word from the Gadigal language, meaning ‘here I am’ or ‘here I come’.

This unique Indigenous art education program provides opportunities for Indigenous students in Years 5–6 and 10–12 to learn about the art collections of the Gallery as well as vocational pathways available in the arts, and integrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander concepts, perspectives and cultural practices.
