To celebrate National Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC Week 2024, Raine Square will proudly host Maar Koodjal, seven immersive weeks of First Nations art and interactive cultural experiences from Monday 27 May until Sunday 14 July.
Maar Koodjal, Noongar for the number seven, will see Raine Square collaborate with local mob to take the local community on an engaging journey through the history and practice of First Nations art and culture. The extensive calendar of experiences across the campaign features weaving workshops, fashion showcases, visual art and digital exhibitions, musical performances, storytelling sessions and a pop-up market which will take centre stage in Boorloo (Perth) city.
The seven-week series will be framed by two important times to learn about First Nations histories, cultures and achievements: National Reconciliation Week (Monday 27 May – Monday 3 June) and NAIDOC Week (Sunday 7 July – Sunday 14 July). The themes for the events in 2024, "Now More Than Ever" and "Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud, and Proud," underscore our collective responsibility to honour the resilience and vibrancy of First Nations culture and work towards reconciliation in our nation.
