We recently caught up with the amazing Kerry Kennell from @kennellandco and had the pleasure of joining her for a days work in Naarm. Kerry is a Zenadth Kes woman with connections to Ugar and Erub, she is also a business owner, mentor, artist manager and director.
Ngarrimili has supported Kerry through her business journey in multiple ways over many years whilst establishing and scaling her own consultancy business, Kennell & Co and throughout her career in music management.
Kerry also joined Ngarrimili as a contractor in July 2020 . We love referring First Nations entrepreneurs, artists and business owners to Kerry who can contribute to their enterprise journey in a number of ways.

It is with keen interest that @first_nations_gender_justice invite you, your friends, families and communities to share views, experiences and opinions through a national submission process. This will inform the development of the Wiyi Yani U Thangani Framework for Action for First Nations Gender Justice and Equality (working title) and the establishment of a First Nations Gender Justice Institute.
The Framework and Institute were key recommendations of the Wiyi Yani U Thangani Report (2020) and endorsed by women at the Wiyi Yani U Thangani National Summit held in May 2023. They will set out actions for nationwide structural reform to help develop the systems that will work for First Nations women and girls and support our lives and rights on the ground.
To take the next steps of translating evidence into lasting and meaningful change, this submission process asks for your insights, experiences and ideas across the following themes:
•Measuring change outcomes
•Ensuring a strong accountability and evaluation approach
•Protecting and strengthening data sovereignty and governance
Learn more about the submissions process on the Wiyi Yani U Thangani website : https://wiyiyaniuthangani.humanrights.gov.au/
Laundry Gallery is excited to hold their first exhibition outside the Parap laundromat at The NT General Store in Fitzroy, Naarm, opening 9 November at 6pm!
THE NT GENERAL STORE / 28 JOHNSTON ST FITZROY
Featuring bold, new work by emerging artists Jarius Herbet, Arthur Herbert, Trexson Herbert, Gabriel Herbert, Dale Herbert and Tanya Wanambi, Maminjirrada is the first exhibition of the Anindilyakwa Arts’ contemporary weaponry revitalisation project.
Featuring predominately maminjirrada (hook spears), accompanied by mabarrkwa (fighting/dancing sticks) and awulmarra (woomeras), all artwork in this exhibition was created on Country, at Four Mile Outstation, located on the east coast of Groote Eylandt in the Gulf of Carpentaria, where the artists live and work.
As a family group, artists drew on contemporary references, such as manga sourced from youtube and social media, in addition to sacred familial narratives and traditional hand carving techniques. The resulting body of work is something both completely new and specific to the Groote Archipelago.
“Every clan had their own hook spear in the old days. The hook spear represents Groote Eylandt and their ancestors. They [the old people] went bush, collecting the timbers and start making maminjirrada – the real name for hook spears. They use only stringybark wood and [carve it] with the pocket knife they got in missionary times."
