We acknowledge the clans of the Eastern Kulin Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we connect, create and work. We pay our respects to their Elders – past and present.

We value the wealth of knowledge, creative practice and connection to Country of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and continue to learn from the oldest living culture in the world.
