In partnership with NSW Health and Infrastructure, Ngununggula, and Poetry in First Languages, the Gundungurra First Nations community, Elders and students are creating a collaborative poetic artwork for Bowral Hospital.

Poetry and art workshops led by award-winning poet Kirli Saunders OAM, Elder Aunty Sharyn Halls and Community Cultural Educator Mel Wiya, will weave community contributions of poems and visual motifs responding to place, in and around Bowral Hospital.

Final artwork will be installed from June 2024, with a full suite of poems from Community, secondary and primary students published and celebrated during NAIDOC week, July 2024.
