Water for peace: towards sustainable and just water futures for First Australians

This World Water Day, join us for a panel discussion exploring the future of First Nations’ water justice. The all-Indigenous panel of experts will discuss upcoming opportunities to improve water outcomes for Indigenous peoples across Australia and considerations for an inclusive and rights-based approach to water policy-making.

After the discussion, join us to officially launch the 2024 Institute for Water Futures (IWF) Cultural Residency program and welcome our new resident, Jessika Spencer.  Based loosely on the concept of an artist-in-residence, the cultural residency is a one-year program that draws on the process of creating art to foster cross-cultural understanding of Indigenous peoples and cultures.

This is an in-person only event.  The discussion will be recorded with a video available on IWF channels in subsequent weeks.  

Complimentary refreshments will follow the discussion.

This event is hosted by the ANU Institute for Water Futures and the Water Justice Hub.
