Woola! Thank you to all the artists, curators and arts administrators who travelled from across WA to Whadjuk Noongar Boodja for this four-day summit.

Our intention was to present a summit where you can both listen and learn, as well as share your own knowledge and experience. So, while we heard from some incredible practitioners and arts professionals, there were also workshops based around participation and learning from each other. 

Below are some resources from across the event. If you have any questions about materials please contact marketing@artonthemove.art
