Indigenous Business Month is an opportunity to celebrate and shine a light on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses across Queensland.   We engaged with Indigenous business Gilimbaa to create 'Rich history, thriving future’ ─ a bespoke artwork that tells the story of Queensland Treasury acknowledging First Nations peoples cultures and contributions.   Gilimbaa means 'today' in the language of the Wakka Wakka people of the Burnett region of Queensland, where artist and Executive Director David Williams (pictured) originates.   As an Indigenous creative agency, Gilimbaa is driven by the power and process of storytelling and its role in educating and celebrating First Nations culture.   Treasury was honoured to collaborate with David and Gilimbaa to create this special artwork for our department, which is featured across major publications, print material and digital platforms.   Learn more about Gilimbaa 👉 https://lnkd.in/gJ4-QW66 #IBM2024 #IndigenousBusinessMonth #IndigBizMonth #MakingOurMark
