Country

We acknowledge the Gayamaygal and Garigal people, the traditional custodians of the land we now associate with the Northern Beaches — from Manly to Palm Beach and the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park — the land upon which our studio stands and many of the projects we have worked on have been built. We pay our deepest respect to their elders – past, present and emerging and recognise their strong connection and continuing relationship with their land and Country.

The above photo was taken during a trip to the APY Lands to assist in scoping remedial and upgrade works to the Art Centres in the central desert, including Tjungu Palya Art Centre, Ninuku Art Centre and Ernabella Art Centre. To find out more visit the project page on APA’s website.
