Lauren Matthews Sustainability Actions

Land and people acknowledgement

The artist states an acknowledgement of the Wadawarrung People as the Traditional Owners of the land where the work is done. The statement also recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their Elders past, present, and future, and says sovereignty was never ceded. This is a public sign of respect for First Nations people and their connection to Country. It is a social and cultural action rather than an environmental program, and no further details are given about related projects or follow-up steps.
