The Circus Arts Hub is building connections from a home base on Boon Wurrung Country, and we acknowledge their elders past, present and future. They have never ceded sovereignty, and remain strong in their enduring connection to land and culture. And we also acknowledge that First Nations peoples throughout the world continue to have a strong connection to land and culture, and their rights and obligations as custodians must be respected.
