East Pilbara Arts Centre is a built project for the community of Newman. Completed in 2016, the site has become an important cultural facility featuring a new art gallery and community spaces. The designs of the building worked with Country, considering the environment and utilising found objects.
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.
