yanalangami lutruwita
Walantanalinany Palingina and Tranby Aboriginal Co-operative partnered to bring the Yanalangami: Strong Women, Strong Communities program to our women here in Tasmania.
Yanalangami: Strong Women, Strong Communities is a national program developed by Tranby, for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. It empowers women’s leadership on the ground, through culturally safe methods and holistic approaches to healing. It offers support to our women to build their toolkits and activate their change making potential.
Yanalangami Lutruwita was a pilot of the national Yanalangami program in Tasmania in a customised retreat for our women.
WAPA MUYLATINA
Wapa Muylatina is a place-based mentoring program that will support the development of a Tasmanian First Nations creative producer through placements across our partnering organisations; Performing Lines Tas, Contemporary Art Tasmania and Assembly197.
All placements are personally, culturally, and creatively supported by Walantanalinany Palingina through culturally safe and strategic capacity building for our artists and arts worker workforce. This customised model incorporates intergenerational, professional, cultural, and creative knowledge and skills sharing, in culturally safe, appropriate, and productive ways.
Sinsa-Jo Mansell will lead the mentoring, bringing her extensive experience as our islands leading First Nations Producer, along with her deep cultural knowledge as an important knowledge keeper in the Tasmanian Aboriginal community.
