Reconciliation Week theme announced

The 2021 National Reconciliation Week theme graphics are drawn from the artwork  Action by Jessica Johnson.
The artwork reflects our connection and mutual obligation to one another, community and Country. Through commonality and difference, we have the ability to come together and achieve real change.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island peoples have been listening to the heart beat of the land and seafor generations. With their rainbow shaped souls the spirits ask for us to join and make reconciliation more than a word, take action. We need to love one another and every aspect of the existing environment and community – we all have a role to play.
We are the change.
This artwork was commissioned by Reconciliation Australia in association with 33 Creative who advised on and managed the theme creation and development.
