On behalf of the team at the Naomi Milgrom Foundation, we pay our respects to the Traditional Custodians of the land and waters upon which we live, meet, learn and celebrate, the people of the Kulin Nations, particularly the Boon Wurrung and Wurrundjeri Woiwurrung people. The world’s longest continuously living culture has been creating and sharing music and stories here for over 60,000 years.
The Wominjeka Song Cycle has quite rightly set the tone for every season of MPavilion, a place that catalyses new ideas and shared experiences as we imagine a better future that we can create together.
Sam Redston,
CEO, Naomi Milgrom Foundation and MPavilion
