In the heart of Naarm (Melbourne), a celebration of Indigenous brilliance is on the horizon - The 2024 Australian Institute for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) Summit, set against the backdrop of the Traditional Lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong Boon Wurrung Peoples, is gearing up to be an extraordinary gathering. Co-convened with the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria, this summit is a confluence of culture, knowledge, and resilience.
This year's theme, "Celebrating Indigenous Brilliance: Then and Now," is a powerful homage to the world's oldest living cultures and their continuous evolution and thriving presence in the modern era. It's about acknowledging the resilience of Indigenous cultures, the wisdom passed down through generations, and the deep connections to land and country. The summit aims to highlight the diverse ways in which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples maintain their core values while embracing contemporary innovations.
From the arts to education, health, and governance, the summit will showcase the multifaceted contributions of Indigenous communities. It's an opportunity for academics, legal experts, community and cultural sectors, and government representatives to come together, share ideas, and foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of Indigenous cultures and knowledge.
As we look forward to this enriching experience, let's not forget the importance of such gatherings in strengthening cultural ties and promoting dialogue. The AIATSIS Summit 2024 is a testament to the enduring spirit and brilliance of Indigenous peoples.
This year's summit is set to take place from the 3-7th of June. To learn more about this year's AIATSIS Summit, head to their website.
