A Message from Zart
At Zart, we believe all educators share the responsibility to embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures into everyday learning. Art provides a powerful and respectful way to begin these conversations. To support teachers, we collaborate with First Nations artists, educators, and cultural knowledge holders, and seek guidance from local Elders on protocols.
We encourage schools to connect with their local First Nations communities first, to build authentic relationships that allow students, staff and the wider school community to engage meaningfully with the richness of First Nations art, cultures and histories.
