Country
Dharawal Knowledge Keeper Shannon Foster:
We acknowledge that the Country now known as Waterloo is Nadunga Gurad (sand dune Country) known for millennia for its nattai (sweetwater/freshwater) wetlands.
We pay our respect to all of the people connected to the kinship system of this Country including the Dharawal, the Dharug, the Eora, the Gaimaragal, the Gundungurra and the Guringai.

The Open Field Agency and MAPA Art and Architecture acknowledge that this research, design and creative work is happening on the unceded country of the Awabakal, Dharawal, Dharug, Eora, Gundungurra, Gadi, Gaimaragal, Guringai and the Worimi people.
We respect the wisdom of the Elders past, present and emerging. This continent always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.
