10 years of Bangawarra

We’re thrilled to celebrate Bangawarra‘s 10 year anniversary this year. Bangawarra is the embodiment of a unique partnership led by D’harawal eora Knowledge Keeper Dr Shannon Foster and Wugulora academic Jo Paterson Kinniburgh. The Bangawarra team is the bridge between the wisdom of Ancestral knowledge and contemporary design practices, committed to the sustainable stewardship of Country.

Bangawarra are uniquely positioned to consult on how to visualise and realise a connecting with Country approach for the three urban renewal sites.

Bangawarra provides advice on place-based design research on Country through Indigenous Research Methods, such as ‘walking up Country’ (Foster and Kinniburgh 2019) and yarning.
