Research symposium and Kirrenderri Heart of the Channel Country

exhibition catalogue and education resources launch

Saturday 4 June 2022

Kirrenderri, the Heart of the Channel Country is renowned as an intersection for Aboriginal trade networks that connect the continent. Revelations of the age and scale of sites in this landscape press for a reimagining of the deep history of this country. These historic landscapes hold the stories of some of Australia’s most complex ancient trade and exchange networks, sites which clearly illustrate production on an industrial scale at one of the largest Aboriginal quarry sites in the world, offering evidence of food harvesting, storage, trade, and village style settlements.

This exhibition explores the complex interconnectedness of generations of Channel Country people, encompassing 130 years of stories, beginning with accounts by the author Alice Duncan-Kemp to the contemporary lived experiences of Mithaka Aboriginal people.

Presenting key findings produced as part of extensive cultural mapping research instigated by the Mithaka Aboriginal Corporation, with contributions by a collaborative research team from University of Queensland, Griffith University, University of New England and The Australian National University.
