RAP Community Art Workshop - Ngulla NAIDOC Festival

 In conjuction with the Shoalhaven City Council’s first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). 

Council is continuing its reconciliation journey using the foundational level ‘reflect’ RAP that helps prepare the business to engage in reconciliation meaningfully.  

Artwork will play a key role in providing opportunities for the community to get involved and provide visual symbolism unique to the Shoalhaven. 

Mayor Amanda Findley said this was a fantastic project that would drive the artistic process through community workshops and communal painting.  

“We want to celebrate and recognise the beginning of Council’s Reconciliation journey through original artwork and delight in the visual theme of the RAP,” Cr Findley said. 

“A talented teacher and artist, we’re very excited to have Jaz produce this artwork hand-in-hand with the community,” she said. 

Jaz Corr is a proud Dharawal woman and has extensive experience delivering Aboriginal art and culture workshops. Her submission titled Woven, will comprise recycled, heavy-duty cardboard and a range of paints and speaks to ongoing mending and woven histories. 

“Woven is a communal painting that serves as a powerful symbol of Aboriginal identity and connection to Yuin Country,” Jaz said.
