We are a national arts organisation advocating for cultural diversity and racial equity: https://diversityarts.org.au/

Our strength lies in our shared ethics of care for one another including our differences – cultural, religious and communal. Together, we are stronger: diversityarts.org.au/statement-of...
Today on January 26, we reflect on the painful history and ongoing impact of invasion on Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander peoples. We honour their strength, resilience & cultures, and stand against racism. Always Was, Always Will Be, Aboriginal land.
