Last night, Curtin Library was proud to host a special celebration of Indigenous excellence, spotlighting the Library Homeland exhibition and Whadjak Malayin Mia, a dedicated study space for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Library Homeland exhibition is a collaboration between Library and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff, showcasing creative works and research outputs from Indigenous students, staff and Alumni. It also incorporates an art trail highlighting works from the John Curtin Gallery on display in the TL Robertson space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations to our Indigenous Learning Advisor Eytahnyia Scott and Library Exhibitions and Programs Coordinator Jayne Cleave, whose dedication, creativity and leadership were instrumental in bringing the exhibition to life. The celebration commenced with a Welcome to Country by Nick Abraham, followed by remarks from Professor Jonathan Bullen, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Indigenous, and University Librarian Kylie Percival. Guests were also treated to creative performances from guitarist Rhys Bedford and Binar Dance Crew Binar Futures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a beautiful celebration that brought people together to connect and engage in meaningful conversations about identity, belonging, culture and connection to Country. Aptly scheduled during National Reconciliation Week, the evening invited attendees to reflect on our shared history and the resilience of Indigenous culture. It was an opportunity to commit to the call to be All In for reconciliation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to everyone who attended, contributed and helped create such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. If you haven\u2019t had a chance to visit the Library Homeland exhibition yet, there\u2019s still time. The exhibition remains open until Thursday 25 June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \n\n
