In incredibly exciting news Minister Garrett and Minister Macklin have written to the Prime Minister regarding the need for an Indigenous Languages Policy and are awaiting his reply. We of course are waiting too, eager to learn if this might be the beginning of a long-awaited policy development in this area. Alex met with Minister Garrett last week to discuss where this matter was sitting and was delighted to hear things were indeed on the move.

Back from Pipalyatjara
Thursday, 01 May 2008
I am back this week from a two-week stint in Pipalyatjara Community, South Australia, which is approximately 700 km south west of Alice Springs, a few kilometres from the tri-state borders of the NT, SA and WA. Doumentary film maker and mentor David Wardell and myself were invited to Pipalyatjara by NPY Women’s Council to run film-making workshops for young people over the school holidays.

In the news this week

There's been a little discussion about shifting focus from creating discreet workshops in town to  finding points of community engagement in the myriad events and work that we have before us. This week we mapped out the next 18 months of the project and were excited and overwhelmed at how much we have on our communal plate, including the production of a documentary, upcoming filmmaking workshops in Ernabella in July and the SA/NT tour in September/October. We received funding through the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) to develop a mobile gallery to house and share the images and text produced by project participants throughout the project and started the first of a series of workshops in the newly renovated community building in Abbott's camp. And long-term project participant and established watercolour artist Elton Wirri flew to Melbourne last week to co-present with Company Director Scott Rankin at the Deakin Lectures.
