NAIDOC Week ‘For Our Elders’ Poster

Download Activity Template

Celebrate NAIDOC Week with this beautifully designed poster by Kerri-Ann Taggart. Kez is an Indigenous digital artist from the Hunter Valley NSW (Wonnarua land). Her design is based on the 2023 NAIDOC Week theme ‘For Our Elders’.

Kerri-Ann explains the inspiration for her artwork: “The long arms hugging the image are representative of a knowledge holder; an Elder. The longer the arm shown, the more knowledgeable they are. The arms encapsulate a family; sharing their knowledge to them. The pathways intertwined around the Elder’s arms connecting their life journey and experiences into their knowledge and stories the Elders share."

NAIDOC Week is a celebration of the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Celebrated in the first week of July (Sunday to Sunday) NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth. (NAIDOC, 2025)

CleverPatch™ recommends educators, teachers and event organisers work in consultation with their local Aboriginal Communities (start locally and extend out geographically) when planning activities & learning experiences. Any creative or art making activity that mirrors or replicates Aboriginal cultural experiences should always be undertaken in consultation with the appropriate owners of that cultural property.

Some materials and products may contain terms that reflect authors' views, both current or past. These views may not be considered appropriate today and are provided in a historical context. These views are not necessarily the views of CleverPatch.

Step 1 Using cover paper, print as many copies of the poster as you need for your group. Cover paper is great for this activity as it is thicker than copy paper and provides a great surface for decorating. The sheet can also be enlarged or reduced on a photocopier to suit your requirements.
Step 2 Colour and decorate the sheet using pencils, markers or paint. Allow to dry if needed
Step 3 Your poster is now ready to display for NAIDOC Week!
