Balarinji has also been shortlisted in the Interact category of the 2022 DIA Designers Australia Awards for our work on Australia’s Nation Brand Mark.

As with other Balarinji projects, the Nation Brand Mark is about design excellence from an authentic and contemporary response to Country, informed by Aboriginal knowledge, stories and culture.

The Designers Australia Awards bring together Australia's broad design community to celebrate ethical, innovative, impactful design – highlighting and honouring work defined by quality.

Balarinji’s work is about belonging, where language, culture, knowledge, Dreaming, Law, and Ceremony are interconnected and one with Country. Aboriginal culture, sustainability and ways of connecting with Country are a distinctive and rich heritage that all of us can acknowledge, and be inspired by, as Australians.
