cultural economics - Why?
Similar to any economy, two overarching forces drive its outcomes, Supply and Demand. In Australia, demand for cultural knowledge, insight or engagement is relatively understood. What is less understood, is the potential supply.
Unlike most other economies, the Cultural Economy has the unique potential to create incredible environmental, cultural, human, social and financial well-being outcomes.
At our finger tips, is an unimaginably wide offering of tangible and intangible interactions, that hold the key to one of the worlds oldest living cultural belief systems.
​
Critical to unlocking the potential well-being outcomes is preservation, respect, leadership, readiness, two-way trust and an unwavering commitment to value Indigenous Culture.
​
