In honour of the critical work that Indigenous practitioners undertake, and to commemorate NAIDOC Week 2023, we are proud to be hosting an Indigenous ecological knowledge photography exhibition as part of our 2023 annual conference. The exhibition is replicated here for audiences unable to make it to the conference in person.

Images in this exhibition tell the stories of individuals or programs continuing, reviving and protecting the ecological practices and knowledge held by First Nations people for millennia.

Select the ‘tutorial’ icon in the top left corner for help navigating through the gallery. Choose the ‘full screen’ icon for a better view of the gallery. Click on each image for more information about it.
