Balarinji Artwork
We partnered with Balarinji on a design for online and printed resources specific to First Nations people
The design Balarinji created is based on the artwork Spring Journey & Spirit Ancestors, and depicts the scorched earth under the sparse shade of desert scrub. The land drums a tribal beat. The design is about a journey through time.
For our RAP we commissioned artwork from one of our previous team members, Tanya Conlon
Tanya, a proud Ngarrindjeri woman, painted three special pieces of art that focus on the organisation and the journey of reconciliation: Knowledge Tree, The Journey and Dreamtime.
