In the spirit of Reconciliation and in preparation for TRILITY’s RAP
artwork piece, TRILITY held a number of workshops where our people
came together with a local First Nations Artist, David Booth, to learn
about Aboriginal art. The workshops formed part of our commitment
to reconciliation by providing opportunities for our employees to
connect and get better understand First Nations people’s connection
with Country as a place of belonging, and relationships to storytelling.
The workshops were held during National Reconciliation Week,
and everyone that attended got to create and paint their own piece
of ‘storytelling artwork’. David then used elements from each of
the artworks and weaved them into the overall design of TRILITY’s
Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) artwork. The sessions were held both
in person and over Zoom, and each of our employees that attended felt
they had gained a better connection to our First Nations People,
as described by our Managing Director.
“At first, I thought an hour out of my day doing artwork was possibly
not the best use of my time. However, I found it beneficial as I now
understand storytelling through art, and I gained more insight into
our First Nations Peoples. I also have a far better appreciation for all
artwork now” Francois Gouws, TRILITY Managing Director
We invite you to watch the video to hear David’s narrative and the
story behind TRILITY’s RAP artwork.
TRILITY is privileged to be working with David, a proud Warumungu
Tennent Creek, NT and Yuggera, Brisbane man who also has
connections to Peramangk and Ngarrindjeri through his partner and
children. To see some more of David’s work, visit his Facebook page.
