The theme for NAIDOC Week 2022 is a powerful one. Get up! Stand up! Show up! is a call to action to move past morning tea discussions about change and for us to lean in and make change happen. Our Resurgence programs are doing just that by engaging schools and community to connect with culture.
Through these programs, we offer the opportunity for hundreds of Aboriginal students and community members to learn about Aboriginal cultural practices such as weaving, possum skin cloak sewing and artefact making and immerse themselves in Aboriginal culture at our cultural camps.
Our Aboriginal cultural knowledge holders work with participants to make a possum skin cloak or weave a large scale woven sculpture. These cultural items are owned by the school or community group and will be featured in our 2023 Resurgence exhibition at Newcastle Museum. We are now inviting corporate partners and supporters to help us deliver these programs in 2022 and 2023.
