Our Reconciliation Journey

Acknowledgement of Country

Griefline acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live and work, and of the many different nations across Australia. 

We pay our respects to the Elders, past and present, as the bearers of the memories, the traditions, the cultures, and the spiritual well-being of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across the nation. 

We recognise their continuing connection to land, water, sky, and communities and express gratitude that we can all share this land today. We share the sorrow for the costs of that sharing, and in the spirit of reconciliation, we have hope that we can move together toward healing and a connected future. 

We affirm that this land was, is, and will always be Aboriginal land. We stand with them in acknowledging this truth. 

Our commitment to reconciliation

We are proud to announce that in August 2024, Griefline’s Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) was officially endorsed by Reconciliation Australia, marking our commitment to the journey toward reconciliation and strengthening our place within the RAP network. 

This important milestone reflects our dedication to building respectful relationships and creating meaningful opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. While there is still much work ahead, we remain committed to fulfilling the actions we have pledged in our plan.

Our artwork

Southern Songlines #3, 2024
by Luke Mc, Wulgurukaba

“Songlines are ways that information is passed between tribes and generations. They can be dance, music, stories or artwork. Songlines teach us love and law. They enable us to navigate the land, teach us creations stories and give important information relating to seasonal hunting and gathering, Custodians of the lands and the right time to burn the land. This series of paintings is my interpretation of Songlines.”

 

For Griefline, the artwork represents a vibrant expression of culture, history, and resilience. Each stroke carries the weight of tradition and the wisdom of generations past, inviting us to embark on a journey of understanding and healing.
