Reconciliation T-Shirt Design

In this video we will explore the theme of Reconciliation Week 2025, Bridging Now to Next. We will research relevant First Nations words and symbols and create our own creative interpretation of the theme and use a cardboard T-Shirt as the vehicle to display our designs.

Step 1

Use a First Nations map of Australia to find your local First Nations people and explore traditional words and symbols that are relevant to the 2025 theme.

Step 2

Sketch out your ideas to create a design that expresses your thoughts of the 2025 theme.

Step 3

Use Colour Slicks and markers to complete your design.

A Message from Zart

The responsibility to embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures into everyday learning environments is shared by all educators – and works of art are the perfect vehicle to start the conversation.

Zart always recommends teachers and schools connect with their local First Nations community first. This way, they will build strong, authentic relationships within their communities so their students, staff, and school can share in the beauty of First Nations culture and history.

What you'll need

Acknowledgement of Country

In the spirit of reconciliation, Zart acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and culture. We pay respect to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
