Taragara is thankful for the support of partners including the Australian Research Council, AIATSIS, Heritage NSW, Western Local Land Services, Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife, Oxfam, Create NSW, University of New England, AU and Maranguka.
We are very grateful for the support of Elders and Community.
Looking forward to taking the next steps alongside them and Typecast Entertainment when we can again. Stay safe everyone.
