Overview
Link-Up (Qld) and QPAC are proud to present this free community event.
Each year, we come together to mark the anniversary of the National Apology. It is an important time to acknowledge how generations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have been affected by past Government policies and practices.
Join us for a meaningful gathering that includes light refreshments, guest speakers, and live performances. This event is an opportunity to reflect on the significance of the National Apology, honour the resilience of Stolen Generations survivors and descendants, and contribute to the ongoing journey of truth, healing, and connection.
The program will feature special performances by Jaymon Bob (Ghungalu) and the Murri School Dancers. The event will be hosted by Geoff Richardson PSM (Meriam, Kuku Yalanji/Djabugay), with guest speakers Professor Gregory Richardson (Waanyi, Jaru) and Commissioner Natalie Lewis (Gamilaraay).
Since 1984, Link-Up (Qld) has supported Stolen Generations survivors and descendants on their healing journeys, fostering a sense of identity and belonging through reunification with culture, country and kin.
