From 27 May to 3 June each year, we acknowledge National Reconciliation Week (NRW), which is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. This year's theme is Be Brave. Make Change. We encourage you to be brave and participate in UniSA NRW events; and make change by accessing resources and educating yourself about reconciliation. We look forward to seeing you at our events!

Visit Ngapulara Ngarngarnyi Wirra (Our Family Tree) MOD. exhibition
What is the link between ancient Aboriginal knowledge systems, biometric data, the direction of the wind, satellite surveillance, AI and a very old sacred wirra (tree) deep in Adnyamathanha Country?

The link runs through Adam Goodes and his deep ancestral connections. For the past four years, Adam Goodes, Angie Abdilla & Baden Pailthorpe have been slowly and consciously working with Adnyamathana Custodians and Yarta (Country) in an effort to navigate some of the most complex questions of our time in the Data Tracker Project at MOD.

The entanglement of Adam’s biometric data within the metaphysics of Aboriginal knowledge systems has remained invisible, until now.
