Cultural Collaborations

What we do» Community Engaged (CACD) » Cultural Collaborations

A gruop gathers by the fireside at dusk to enjoy the projection light show "Padla Ngalungga Kinipapa, Cooper Creek, Our Country" on the exterior of the Park Headquarters at the Innamincka Regional Reserve.

We have been honoured to work alongside First Nation Elders, community and artists with Aboriginal heritage to support cultural and multicultural collaborations, and to support cultural practice with creative and technical support, training and long term partnerships.

We are committed to working together following our embedded principles and protocols to respect culture, heritage and cultural intellectual property.

We appreciate the opportunity to support Aboriginal communities, preserve and celebrate culture and to develop skills and opportunities.

Below is a video compilation sharing some of the collaborations in projects, featuring art of Dr Richard Walley (Luminous Hall), Dance by Robert Taylor (Stepping into the Light), and Nellie Rankine (The Ribbon).
