2026 National Reconciliation Week Street Banner program is open
To celebrate and recognise the importance of National Reconciliation Week (NRW), the Reconciliation Street Banner project was created. This year, over 300 banners were flying high in prominent street locations across the state, featuring Darryl Dempster's artwork, Snake Nest.
For 2026, we are delighted to announce that Melissa Sunfly's artwork, Murrunpa, will adorn our banners and a new range of merchandise in the new year.
National Reconciliation Week (NRW) runs from 27 May to 3 June annually and commemorates two historically significant events in Australia’s reconciliation journey - 27 May marks the anniversary of the successful 1967 referendum and 3 June marks the anniversary of the Mabo decision.
