Summary ""Bungaree : the first Australian" is an exhibition of works by fifteen contemporary Aboriginal artists who have interpreted key issues faced by Aboriginal society in the face of the forces of colonial settlement and the resultant state of European hegemony. After the failures of Aboriginal society to deal with the arrival of the Europeans by Bennelong (through diplomatic means) and Pemulwuy (through active warfare), the story of Bungaree represents a third approach in coming to terms with the monumental shifts in power, control and identity faced by Aboriginal people then (and now)" -- p. 6.
