SYMPHŌNÍA was exhibited and performed on the Traditional Lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the East Kulin Nations. We pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging.

I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which I work, the Boonwurrung and Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation and pay my respects to their Elders. I pay my respects to the toorernomairemener people, the original custodians of portermelooner (Freycinet Peninsula). I also acknowledge and pay respect to all Tasmanian Aboriginal people, their Ancestors, Elders, families and future generations, the custodians of lutruwita (Tasmania).
