The Garma Cultural Knowledge Centre is a significant cultural centre. Completed in 2014, the built project operates as an adult learning centre, meeting place and a place to protect and showcase cultural artefacts. It is also the site where Yolgnu Elders practice and preserve culture through the Garma Festival. The permanent construction of the centre was intended to enable further activities at the site.
The Australian Institute of Architects acknowledges First Nations peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands, waters, and skies of the continent now called Australia.
We express our gratitude to their Elders and Knowledge Holders whose wisdom, actions and knowledge have kept culture alive.
We recognise First Nations peoples as the first architects and builders. We appreciate their continuing work on Country from pre-invasion times to contemporary First Nations architects, and respect their rights to continue to care for Country.
