“I am reminded of the Native American saying 'When the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught, the last river poisoned, only then will we realise that we cannot eat money.' It's from the elders that you get wisdom. But it all feels different to me now - there is a dislocation of spirit, a disconnect from the old story. Not just for blackfellas, but all of us.” - Uncle Archie Roach (Gunditjmara and Bundjalung)

We love seeing young mob thrive! ✨ The Singing Our Futures program was established by the Archie Roach Foundation in collaboration with Culture is Life. 🫶🏾

It has evolved from the rich legacy left behind by Uncle Archie Roach, one of storytelling, truth-telling and healing through music, as well as his passion for nurturing and creating pathways for emerging First Nations artists. ❤️‍🩹

It was a deadly full circle moment to have one of the 2023 Singing Our Futures artists, Canisha, perform at our Fullaship Program Graduation 2023. Such a beautiful set and we can't wait to see where her journey leads. 👣
