Will you make an EOFY donation to help support truth-telling and reconciliation at Galup? 💝

Donate here: www.samedrum.com/donations

We’re fundraising for a new series of permanent sound and video works at Galup, a place visited by more than 650,000 people each year. These works will create space for reflection, connection and healing by sharing powerful stories about truth-telling, resilience and caring for Country.

Your donation will help Same Drum bring these works to life.

"We need these stories of the past in order to move to a place of understanding" - Dr Aunty Liz Hayden

We would love to have you stand alongside us in this important work.
