So incredibly moved to be at the World Premiere of “KUMARANGK: Sacred Women’s Business”! 🎬✨

This film does something profound: through extraordinary interviews and rich archives, it restores humanity to one of Australia’s most divisive cultural conflicts, returning the story to the Aboriginal women who lived it.

The anticipation is real—there’s already a waitlist for all sessions, which shows how hungry we are for these vital, authentic stories.

We love the ambitious vision behind it most. This film is Part Two of a trilogy, following this year’s exhibition (Part One-supported by the Arts Peace Foundation) and leading into a theatre piece next year (Part Three). Telling a story across different mediums like this is a brilliant way to deepen community connection and understanding.

It’s a beautiful reminder of the power of art to drive truth-telling and reconciliation. Have you experienced any multi-medium storytelling projects that really stayed with you?

This year, the Peace Foundation is offering one prestigious grant of $10,000 (GST exclusive) to support the development and creation of an original arts project.

This award is not just funding a project. It's about affirming that art is essential to peace. That imagination is resistance. And that every brushstroke, note, poem, and performance carries the quiet power to change hearts — and ultimately the world! We are excited to see what you create.

We are seeking projects that not only reflect peace but also actively build it.

🌳💛 We’ll be there.

The Graham F. Smith Peace Foundation has been closely watching, supporting and participating in the community response to the destruction of trees and habitat connected to the government’s golf course development at Pirltawardli (Possum Park).

Now, with Victoria Park / Pakapakanthi being targeted as part of the MotoGP plans, it is more important than ever that the community continues to show up through peaceful, visible and respectful action.

Tying yellow ribbons around trees is a simple but powerful gesture. A reminder that these trees are not just obstacles to development - they are part of Adelaide’s living landscape, supporting wildlife, shade, history and community wellbeing.

We stand behind our trees, our wildlife and the people advocating for the protection of our Park Lands. Peaceful protest matters, and we encourage anyone who cares about these spaces to join the ribbon tying gathering this Saturday.

📍 Victoria Park / Pakapakanthi (Park 16)
🗓 Saturday 6 June 2026
⏰ 10:30am
