      Boola Katitjin 2022-23

      In 2022 Murdoch University commissioned and purchased the following artworks for the University’s new teaching and learning building, Boola Katitjin, which in Noongar language means ‘lots of learning’. This suite of works responds to the building’s overarching narratives of new digital technology, storytelling, a campus on Country, wellbeing and mindfulness.

      We acknowledge that Murdoch University is situated on the lands of the Whadjuk and Binjareb Noongar people. We pay our respects to their enduring and dynamic culture and the leadership of Noongar elders past and present. The boodjar (country) on which Murdoch University is located has, for thousands of years, been a place of learning. We at Murdoch University are proud to continue this long tradition.
