In a small, remote community at the tip of the North Kimberley Region of Western Australia, a group of strong, inspired Aboriginal women are sharing stories of their country and culture through photography. The women want to grow their photography skills as a way to increase employment opportunities in Kalumburu, as well as to archive, share and celebrate their culture and country with wider Australia and the world.

There are very limited employment options for people living in remote Australia. The majority of people are relegated to welfare and disempowering work for the dole programs. This project strengthens the women’s connection to country, culture and language, thereby promoting health and wellbeing and healing. It provides a tangible and realistic opportunity for economic empowerment and enables people to create their own solutions to the issues they are facing.
