Stories and legends are kept alive and passed on to younger generations through visual art, dance, music and new technology. New generations make new connections between traditions and modern life.
Backing Indigenous Arts is investing in projects to build skills and opportunities for artists and communities which will help to maintain and share cultural traditions. This includes artist-in-residence and mentoring programs; expansion of youth arts; Indigenous dance and music including festivals, touring and showcase opportunities; digital storytelling; and Indigenous writing initiatives.
A priority is support for Indigenous arts, education and training projects with a focus on partnership.
