Chatty Bench Festival acknowledges the Turrbal and Yuggera people as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which this work was made. We acknowledge all the people of the lands that make this work possible. We recognise the continuing connection to lands, waters, and communities of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. We pay our respect to Elders, past, present and emerging, and commit to standing with our First Nations people.

You make the festival :)
