Firesticks

Firesticks is an Indigenous-led, not-for-profit organisation revitalising traditional knowledge through Cultural Fire Practices, restoring the health and well-being of Country and community.

September has had the honour of working with Dr Jacqueline Gothe and the University of Technology Sydney on Firesticks since its inception over a decade ago.

The Firesticks symbol speaks to the values of recognition, responsibility and respect. Over this enduring partnership, we’ve come to understand that, as non-Indigenous designers, the qualities that define meaningful collaboration are sensitivity and connection, distillation and balance, openness and sharing.

This work has been recognised internationally for information design and was presented at the 18th Biennial Conference on Communication and Environment.
