What we do
Place-making
Nurturing connection, celebrating culture
We create and nurture spaces where First Nations peoples and others can unite, celebrate heritage, and strengthen connections to Country and Culture. Our place-making initiatives are deeply rooted in collaboration and consultation with Elders, knowledge holders, and community members.

First Nations Artist Collaborations
Collaborating with First Nations artists to design and create murals and installations that tell the stories of the land and its people. These artistic expressions serve as powerful reminders of First Nations history and culture, inspiring pride and connection.
System-making
Amplifying voices, driving change
We challenge and transform the systems that have historically marginalised First Nations peoples. Our system-making efforts focus on amplifying First Nations voices, advocating for policy change, and promoting equitable resource allocation.
