Join First Nations leaders from around the world to forge a new direction of leadership in the cultural and creative sectors.

• Featuring keynotes & cultural provocations

• Delivering a new Cultural Manifesto for the future

• Drawing strength from the knowledge of a global collective of First Nations cultural and creative leaders

First Nations arts leaders are contributing State of the Nations cultural statements, each offering personal leadership views of the arts and cultural sectors in relation to First Peoples and the strategies that are needed for First Peoples to secure and champion their own distinctive cultural Futures.

State of the Nations will be the backbone of discussion over the course of the Summit. If you'd like to contribute your voice, head to their website to find out more.

Marram-nganjinu Biik-gurrin is part of the BULLARTO WONTHAGGI (everyone gathering together) program for YIRRAMBOI First Nations Arts Festival, the first festival created, choreographed, produced, directed and performed by Indigenous artists.
