Cultural Mapping
This community focused project makes visible vital creative work responding to the Climate Emergency in all its manifestations.
With direction and input from local artists, activists and culture workers, honouring 65,000+ years of continuous caring for country, we are supporting Cultural Mapping projects that honour First Nations people’s stories and generate ‘maps’ that weave history, creative practice and vision for a positive future.
This is experimental emergent work to celebrate and encourage local collaborative community efforts.
