We are thrilled to share exciting news about the Waverley Council and Walawaani Art project. As part of our commitment to reconciliation and fostering understanding and respect for Indigenous cultures, Walawaani has partnered with Waverley Council for an art project to create artworks and promotional banners for the council’s Reconciliation Week. Over the weekend, the flags were installed across parts of the Waverley local area. Key places of the flag are Campbell Parade, Bondi Junction and Birrell Street.

During this project, our students had the unique opportunity to work closely with local Indigenous artists and the Council to collaboratively create artworks that celebrate and honour Indigenous cultures and histories. This initiative not only allows our students to express their creativity but also provides them with a platform to learn about and engage with Indigenous perspectives and artistic traditions.

From their artworks they created, key symbols from multiple artworks created the flag for Reconciliation Week. This flag will be hung in the local area for the next three weeks.
Students’ artworks will be on exhibition at Waverley Library 28 July – 22 August 2024.
