Details

1. First Nations women’s leadership is a powerful driver of regional economic development when communities lead their own enterprise and governance. 2. Creative industries and digital textile printing can create viable business pathways for Aboriginal women in remote communities, connecting local production to national and global markets. 3. With the right infrastructure, partnerships and community-led organisations such as Ngaringga Larna, remote towns can become centres of innovation and opportunity.
