Gidhal would not have been possible without an enormous amount of goodwill offered to the students and the school during this process. This goodwill has been shown in artists allowing their work to be reprinted and gifting artworks to the school. Elders have agreed to be interviewed by students, and family members have found stories and songs to help their children represent their community. We would like to thank the following organisations for working with us on this project: Australian Catholic University Brisbane Institute of Art Institute of Modern Art
