“Eternal Wisdom, Infinite Innovation” This artwork represents CSIRO’s reconciliation story. It depicts our journey and ongoing commitment to strengthening our relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. The artwork concept and narrative was developed by Rachael Sarra working with Gilimbaa. Rachael is a proud First Nations woman and artist from Goreng Goreng Country.

The story behind the artwork is as follows: As the stars dance across the night sky, guiding us with knowledge and wisdom, and when the spirit travels Country whispering through the leaves, the water and the breeze, we are reminded that we are the longest continuing culture in the world.  At the heart of everything there exists a sacred meeting ground between past and the future – a place where the timeless wisdom of culture converges with the boundless potential of modern innovation.

Wishing a safe and happy festive season to all ADAP readers!
