Tribe Technology Group Ltd
FIRST NATIONS ARTWORK COMMISSION
18 July 2023
Tribe Tech is delighted to have commissioned its first Aboriginal artwork, created by local Nyoongar artist, Janelle Smith. The piece represents Tribe Tech and illustrates the Company’s commitment to acknowledge First Nations people across the globe, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we operate on today.
Three sets of footprints around the perimeter depict animals travelling across the land, while symbols in the centre indicate a meeting place, denoting Tribe Tech’s commitment to embracing the community and engaging with Aboriginal people and culture.
Each symbol in the artwork signifies the foundations of Tribe Tech and its inextricable links with the landscape and community. Travelling tracks around the outer edges represent growth and waterways illustrate forward momentum in tandem with the flow of water through the Nyoongar Boodjar.
Charlie King, Managing Director of Tribe Tech, commented: “It has been a pleasure working with Janelle to commission our first ever Aboriginal artwork. We’re very proud to display the final piece, which brings to life our commitments and connection with the local community.”
