“This artwork depicts our mob harnessing generations of strength, resilience and knowledge. Mentoring has been
taking place in our communities for generations. It was carried out by our Elders, who shared invaluable knowledge,
wisdom and insight. I’ve used the gathering circles to represent our many communities, with the white lines linking
to reflect connections to place, people and community. The fists depict diversity, action, and strength of First Nations
people past and present. It’s front and centre; just as it should be. Emphasising that it’s important to have our voices at
the forefront addressing matters regarding the future of our communities” – Nakia Cadd, Yorta Yorta, Dja Dja Wurrung
