MAV wishes to acknowledge the impact of the recent referendum on the First Nations artists and communities with which we collaborate.

Avenues for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to influence the very matters that directly affect their lives should have long been a given.

Multicultural Arts Victoria (MAV) proudly expresses our support for the Yes vote in the upcoming First Nations Voice to Parliament Referendum.

We believe that acknowledging and empowering the voices of Australia's First Nations people is a crucial step towards genuine reconciliation, justice, and unity.
