About

The vision of Wominjeka Djeembana is to provide an identity of Indigeneity at Monash Art, Design and Architecture and on Caulfield campus. Our vision is simple yet multiple: we aim to articulate the synergies between Indigenous ways of knowing with practice-led research specifically in the areas of art, design and architecture (and beyond). We also lead the Indigenisation of curriculum within the Faculty.

The research program at Wominjeka Djeembana articulates the importance of Indigenous knowledge for contemporary society through methodologies premised on the agency of Country and relationality. We partner with local, national and international collaborators to produce real-world benefits and impact.

The significant advancement that Wominjeka Djeembana offers in this area of Indigenous knowledge production is how knowledge pertaining to art, design, curation, architecture and beyond can be reconfigured and improved through an Indigenous lens. The main aim of the research conducted and created at Wominjeka Djeembana is to become a national and international leader in Indigenous ways of knowing through practice-based discourses. The very relationship between Indigenous ways of knowing and practice-led research will be a significant contribution and advancement of research training methodologies. The members of Wominjeka Djeembana are world leaders in this relational methodology in research.
