MAKE IT REAL

Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) Product Development Project

 

Project Update April 2023

We are concurrently in Stages 3 and 4 of Make it Real, which sees a consolidation of the last four years of research into toolkits for art centres , and an exciting move into planning the prototyping phase of several products for the pilot 6 art centres. These prototypes celebrate the artists and artworks from the following art centres, who we would like to thank for their ongoing involvement in this pilot project.

AACHWA looks forward to sharing more about Make it Real very soon.

Make it Real is proudly supported by Lotterywest, Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, Pilbara Development Commission, Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation, Australia Council for the Arts, BHP, KPMG, Copyright Agency Cultural Fund, and special thanks to our pilot art centres and specialist consultants.

AACHWA respectfully acknowledges the Whadjuk People of the Noongar Nation as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which AACHWA’s office is located. AACHWA extends its Acknowledgement to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of this country and its waters. We wish to pay respect to the Elders past and present and extend this to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Art and storytelling have been practised by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people on these lands for tens of thousands of years, and we at AACHWA are privileged to be able to promote, empower and connect Aboriginal artists and art centres across the region. This always was, and always will be Aboriginal land.
