First Peoples Cultural Summit – Public Gallery Session
The Marram-Nganjinu Biik-Gurin (We are Country) First Nations Cultural Summit – 8-10 May – concludes today (Wednesday 10 May).
Whilst the advertised Public Gallery session is going ahead the organisers have decided not to live stream today’s session.
An update regarding the First Peoples Cultural Statement that is being developed through the Summit will be presented on Friday at the First Peoples First Workshop and then shared through the Arts Front networks.
