pumili nayri Call for Expressions of Interest
RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
Open now. Closing 28 August 2026
The RST and TMAG are collaborating to commission an artwork by a Tasmanian Aboriginal artist or group of artists. The project is named ‘pumili nayri’ meaning making or doing good in palawa kani. The artwork will remind the current generation and inform future generations of the Apologies and the events that led to them being necessary.
The Creative Brief provides background information, a timetable for the project, the selection process and budget.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
