4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art acknowledges the Gadigal people, the traditional custodians of the land on which we live, work and create. We recognise the enduring connections between First Nations people and the land, waters, culture and communities that have existed for over 60,000 years. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
