We acknowledge the people of the Woi wurrung and Boon wurrung language groups of the eastern Kulin nations on whose unceded lands our student community nurtures their individual creative expression and collaborative design practices. 

We acknowledge the Ancestors and Elders, past and present, of the lands, waterways and seas of Naarm, where we learn and practice design. 

We acknowledge that we convene on the lands of the Traditional Custodians of Country and that sovereignty was never ceded here. We honour First Nations people, the rightful caretakers of Country, whose knowledge of, and love for lands, waterways, seas, culture, and community is immeasurable. 

As we get set to showcase the diverse voices of our generation, we honour the language groups of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People who have cared for Country through shared knowledge, love and respect. We try to listen deeply as we share this platform across disciplines, celebrating our creativity and dedication in this very old place. 

We acknowledge and admire 65,000 years of art and design existing across the eastern Kulin nations, in which we contextualise, experience and interpret our studies at RMIT.
