This community-led knowledge-sharing project celebrates the cultural continuity and living connections between Saltwater mobs across interconnected Countries, honouring responsibility and sovereignty through contemporary creative practices. Developed as part of an ongoing truth-telling initiative led by the UOW Art Collection and UOW’s Healing and Recognition Track (HART), the project creates a space for teaching and learning through stories of culture, kinship, and belonging.
