Acknowledgement of Country

I acknowledge that I am living, working and studying on the lands of the Boonwurung and Wurundjeri people, the traditional custodians of the Kulin Nations. I pay my respects to their Elders past and present. I acknowledge the sacred sovereigns of these Lands, and recognise that their sovereignty has never been ceded.

I acknowledge First Nations Peoples enduring connection to their Country, Water, Community and Knowledges for more than 60,000 years. I recognise the thriving resilience and agency in their connection to Material and Creative Practices.

I am committed to fostering a respectful and meaningful relationship with the First Nations People, Knowledges and Land.
