REF have been working with the Papunya community to help create a media organisation to record the dreamtime stories. Funds from the sale of art are being used to help create a new business for the people of Papunya.
The Dreamtime is a way of sustaining culture and the environment. The main focus of Indigenous people is to keep the culture strong. This means having a connection to country and the Dreamtime.
An Indigenous vision shared with REF is for all people to continue to work together for a strong society for future generations.
“We are creating new ways to continue to educate future generations about country, culture, story and song lines.” (Elder)
REF use multimedia to create cultural education tools that strengthen Community identity. A whole of community approach is being used where Elders are guiding Youth on how to use multi media to continue cultural traditions for future generations.
