A Culturally Rich Space for Connection and Storytelling

Designed by Indigenous artist Kiz Costelloe, this large 3.1m x 2.1m oval rug provides a safe, welcoming space for children to gather, share stories, and connect with Aboriginal traditions in a comfortable classroom setting

A note from the artist

When creating the yarning oval artwork, I’ve used symbols which represent “community” and “gathering”. They create a welcoming space for each individual to come together to create that community feeling where you can express your feelings, share knowledge and stories while in a safe space.
