‘In our language we say Ngapartji–Ngapartji: a process of doing things together, side by side. To give to one another, to share. This is at the core of our culture, our art centres and communities. Side by side, we work and we lead. We know that if one of us succeeds, we all rise strong. We support each other. We celebrate each other. Because we are one.’ – Robert Fielding
