This event is booked out.

Everyone is welcome to join us for lunch and a film screening to acknowledge National Reconciliation Week.

After a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony, you’ll be invited to plant a hand as part of ANTaR's Sea of Hands display. For 26 years the Sea of Hands has been a symbol of solidarity and aims to spread awareness for reconciliation and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander justice, rights and respect. 

Hear from guest speaker, Warren Roberts, founder of Yarn Australia and enjoy a cultural dance performance by Rayma Johnson.

Lunch will be provided, followed by a screening of the short film Miro. The film tells the story of an Aboriginal digger who returns home at the end of World War 2 to find his land taken, people gone, daughter stolen and service record treated with contempt. He sets out to reunite his family, waging his own form of justice.  

Bookings are essential and the event is booked out.

The National Reconciliation Week 2023 theme ‘Be a voice for generations’ encourages all Australians to be a voice for reconciliation in tangible ways in our everyday lives – where we live, work and socialise.
