NAIDOC Week Community Art Project

Hawaiian’s Forrestfield will celebrate NAIDOC Week through interactive community art projects with local Indigenous artists.

Celebrated across Australia, NAIDOC Week recognises the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The project aims to celebrate the diversity and richness of Indigenous history and culture through community collaboration.

Celebrated Noongar artist Seantelle Walsh will undertake commissioned artworks at Hawaiian’s Forrestfield, inviting shoppers and community members to collaborate in their art piece. Collectively, with all individual pieces placed together, the art display will reflect this year’s NAIDOC Week theme: Voice. Treaty. Truth.
