Celebrating NAIDOC Week 2024 - Exploring Art and Meaning This NAIDOC Week, join us as we explore the rich symbolism and heartfelt narrative behind inspiring Indigenous artwork painted by Kylie and David Hill. Kylie passionately shares the profound story embedded within each element and symbol of this remarkable piece. In her own words: "The artwork tells a story of connecting across country, symbolised by the top and bottom parts coming together like communities. The U shapes represent the people of Bunzl, uniting for reconciliation. Blues and greens signify healing in our waterways, with DNA lines symbolising our interconnectedness in this journey. Ancestors are depicted as white dots, watching over us and reinforcing our deep connection to country, where we work and thrive together." At Bunzl, we're honoured to embed the core meaning and messages of this profound artwork into our spaces across Australia, embodying and demonstrating our values of unity and reconciliation. It's more than just artwork—it's a testament to cultural understanding and respect. Let's celebrate the richness of First Nations artistry and stories, embracing their cultural significance every day. #NAIDOCWeek #FirstNationsArt #CulturalHeritage #Reconciliation #Bunzl #ConnectingCommunities #ReconcilationActionPlan
