By |March 6th, 2025|

From the remote community of Roebourne in the West Australian Pilbara to Australia’s most prestigious stage, the Sydney Opera House, comes Punkaliyarra, an immersive experience where First Nations elders, aunties and emerging leaders share stories of resilience, hope, strength and the change-making power of Aboriginal matriarchal leadership, in the lead-up to International Women’s Day

Alberts acknowledges the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants of the nation and the Traditional Custodians of the lands where we live, learn and work. We pay our respects to Elders past and present.
