NAIDOC week
5 - 12 July 2026
50 Years of Deadly
This year's theme marks a milestone. It’s a tribute to the people who built this movement. the Elders who stood firm, the organisers who made space, the artists who turned resistance into expression, and the communities who keep showing up, year after year.
