Story:

Our Elders have seen a lot of changes in their time but always continue to move forward with a commitment to teaching the traditional ways through art, song, dance and storytelling. This is how each generation builds respect and we become contemporary custodians of culture and identity. All things are connected. Elders create a connection to our history, bringing together Dreaming Stories and Country to preserve culture and wisdom for everyone. The meeting symbol is in the centre of the artwork, showing us coming together, being taught to be strong, overcome adversity, advocate for survival and nurture a sense of appreciation for all those who come before us. The artwork shows the vibrant colour and beauty of our community, through the experience and wisdom of male and female role models who teach us important lessons. Our world is a brighter and richer place when we respect and honour our Elders, brightening the future through cultural knowledge, appreciation and a deep love for one another.
