The Interpretive Signage process for this project included engagement with the Indigenous Inner West Community in a yarning session which led to the overarching theme Truth Telling. Utilising the overarching theme, Djinjama completed research and development design informed by continuous consultation with Elders and Inner West Indigenous community. The interpretive signage contents and designs followed themes including Indigenous interpretation and heritage and ecology. Djinjama took these themes into account along with the context of Country to ensure the content represented heritage, people and place.
Djinjama honours our connections to Country, community, culture and kin through our work. Djinjama’s projects actively interact with lands, waters and air, and as such we actively protect the rights of Country to be healthy in our work. We respect Traditional Custodians who have long cared for Country and aim to elevate First Voices in all our work. We are grateful to Elders and Knowledge Holders for their continued sharing of wisdom, story, language, and knowledge.
