Honouring Aboriginal Art and Culture through Water

This NAIDOC week, it’s time to reflect on and celebrate the rich history, culture and achievements of First Nations peoples. This year, Civiq invites schools, councils and community groups to honour NAIDOC week by transforming everyday drinking water stations into vibrant canvases that showcase Aboriginal art and storytelling.

Flowing with Culture: The Significance of Water

Water holds profound importance in Aboriginal culture, symbolising life, connection to Country, and the sustenance of communities. Aboriginal Artwork on drinking water stations not only provides essential hydration but also helps create spaces that celebrate, educates and inspires.

Renowned Aboriginal Artist Luke Penrith, from the Wiradjuri, Wotjobaluk, Yuin, and Gumbaynggir Nations, has collaborated with Civiq to design a series of artworks for drinking water stations. Each piece tells a story, weaving together themes of nature, community, and the enduring connection to land and water.

Transform Your Space Into Storytelling Platforms

Imagine filling your bottle at a station wrapped in art that speaks of ancestral journeys, native flora and fauna, and the deep-rooted significance of water in Aboriginal culture. These installations serve as daily reminders of rich tapestry of stories that make up our nation’s history.

Schools, councils and community groups across Australia have embraced this initiative, turning sip spots into educational and cultural landmarks. By doing so, an environment of respect, understanding, and celebration of Aboriginal heritage is created.

Join the Movement

Celebrate NAIDOC week with Civiq and take a step towards meaningful recognition and celebration. By incorporating Aboriginal Art into your drinking water stations, you not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the space but also celebrate the rich cultural narratives of the oldest culture in the world.
