NAIDOC Week Events

To mark NAIDOC week (National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee), Kiama Council has a range of exhibitions, activities and events that celebrate this year’s theme, For Our Elders.

Communities across Australia celebrate NAIDOC Week every year in July to increase awareness of the status and treatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.

Kiama Library will host a First Nation’s Film Fest to celebrate Indigenous resilience, identity and storytelling through a showing of four films across two days. It will also include a special presentation of the Adam Goode’s documentary The Final Quarter, on 6 and 7 July.

There are a range of workshops for young creatives throughout the week including boomerang and mural painting at SENTRAL Sounds at Hindmarsh Park on 7 July and a Weaving Workshop on 5 July at Kiama Library.
