SUBJECT: Indigenous Astronomy Workshop


On Friday 27 November there will be a one-day Symposium on Indigenous  
Astronomy at AIATSIS in Canberra, sponsored by AIATSIS, CSIRO, and  
ICRAR, as part of the 2009 International Year of Astronomy.

It is timed to coincide with the Canberra launch of the art exhibition  
'Ilgarijiri - things belonging to the sky', a collaborative project  
between ICRAR astronomers and Yamaji Art in Geraldton. The art  
exhibition and the Symposium bring together Indigenous artists,  
speakers, and scientists to exchange and celebrate different  
perspectives about the night sky.

Space at the Symposium is limited, so it is essential to register in  
advance.
