Healing Country means hearing the pleas to provide greater management, involvement, and empowerment of Indigenous peoples over country…
....it means embracing First Nation’s cultural knowledge and understanding of Country as part of Australia's national heritage…
....and that the culture and values of Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islanders are respected equally to the cultures and values of all Australians.
"Our connection to country is inherent to our identity, we're calling for stronger measures to recognise protect and respectfully maintain all aspects of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and heritage" Melissa Stannard
Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre (BFAC) acknowledges all of this and provides the arts centre as a space to celebrate First Nations peoples, countries, and cultures by showcasing their work and sharing their stories. The multiple language groups that are represented each year at BFAC demonstrates the diverse and rich culture in the community which is supported by BFAC in a safe environment.
