Brisbane Powerhouse acknowledges the Jagera/Turrbal peoples, the First Nation Traditional Owners of the land on which we gather. We pay respects to all Elders past and present and acknowledge the young leaders who are working beside our Elders in our cultural industries.

We recognise all First Nation peoples as the original storytellers of these lands and acknowledge the important role they continue to play in our community.
