This was a small but really meaningful project I had the privilege to contribute to at the end of last year. I was asked to edit a new education guide for the National Association for the Visual Arts, written and illustrated by the brilliant Dr Emma Hicks in consultation with Dr Christine Evans.
As NAVA says, “The guide offers easy-to-follow processes, protocols and good practices for engaging Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander artists when working with students in visual art-making activities and programs.”
You can read more about the guide and download it for free here.
