Images Featured in 2009 NAIDOC Poster
NAIDOC Week is celebrated every year around Australia. NAIDOC stands for National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee. NAIDOC Week is a celebration of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.I am pretty proud of this poster as it uses my images from NAIDOC Family Day 2008.
As a Non-Indigenous Person I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the process of Reconciliation through my photography and the invitation to engage in cross-cultural sharing.
I invite you to join me in supporting moves to encourage the Federal Government to remove what are seen as areas of discrimination in the Northern Territory Emergency Response (NTER) legislation.and invite you to look at some of my work with Indigenous Communities in the Northern Territory confronting the cultural cost of the Intervention.Tuesday, June 30, 2009
