Not a Day to Celebrate

For us, 26th of January is not a day to celebrate, it is a day to work. Work to better understand our shared, violent and unreconciled history. Work to acknowledge and address the many cultural and institutional biases still prevalent across our industry. Work to be better allies. Work to listen to and support our First Peoples in their continuing custodianship of Country …

So at Cumulus on the 26th of January we are choosing to work*.

*Cumulus provides its team with the option to take the public holiday on another day. Our offices will be open and operating as usual on the 26th of January.

A long, shrouded building is tucked into a vast alpine landscape of rolling grassy plains and dense shrubbery, set against a backdrop of mist-covered mountain peaks.
A Tasmanian Aboriginal woman uses red ochre to colour the carved letters of the phrase "always was..." on a concrete wall in Dove Lake Viewing Centre, performs a ritual that reclaims contemporary architectural space for the palawa people.
