Acknowledgement Of Country

We respect First Nations peoples and their enduring connection to country – to the land, air, waterways, oceans, animals and plants – and recognise the wisdom and culture that has seen them thrive for thousands of years. We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded, and, with humility and courage, wholeheartedly commit heads, hearts and hands to a path of healing, restitution and justice, embracing the wisdom of those who can guide us. We will fulfil our responsibility with honesty and integrity, we will challenge injustice, and - in all of this - we will hold ourselves accountable.

The Respect 2040 Image Library project is a collaborative initiative that will support local governments, organisations and community groups to access imagery that is:

  • Authentic and locally relevant
  • Inclusive and representative
  • Aligned with respectful, strengths-based messaging

This project is creating paid opportunities for local photographers, while inviting community members to be part of a regional image library that reflects the people and places of the Barwon South West.

The Respect 2040 partnership is seeking expressions of interest for the Image Library Project.

This project will create a shared collection of authentic, inclusive and respectful images that reflect the diversity of people and communities across the Barwon South West region.

Expressions of interest are now open for:

  • Photographers
  • Community members to be photographed (models/participants)

Photoshoots are expected to take place across June and July.
