My artwork explores the traditional dances learned and performed in ceremonies, connecting us with country and community. By learning these dances from our Elders and performing them as part of ceremonies, we are able to reconnect with and maintain our connection to country and community. This allows us to heal our spiritual health and mental health through dancing as we acknowledge the Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal people that have come before us and connection to the land.
Reconciliation means…
Reconciliation is what keeps our culture alive. It involves acknowledging our past, present and our future with both Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal people.

Many of these resources and activities have been developed in consultation with NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) to ensure that the program meets NSW curriculum outcomes for Stages 3, 4 & 5.
Reconciliation NSW aims to create a reconciled, just and equitable community for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians. We work to inform, support and inspire people to engage in reconciliation.
