Our Story
Through Indigenous Connect, we aim to provide a transformative platform where artists can flourish and organisations can discover the profound impact of culturally rich, authentic artwork
Indigenous Connect was born from a vision to create meaningful connections between Australian First Nations artists and the broader Australian community. Founded by Jenni Walke, the entrepreneur behind Elephant in the Room Consulting, First Nations Strategy and INDIGImesh, Indigenous Connect is more than just an artist platform; it’s a commitment to cultural celebration and collaboration.
Our Purpose.
Jenni, a proud Bundjalung woman, has always been driven by a passion to create spaces where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures are not only showcased but deeply respected and integrated into the fabric of everyday business.
With a profound love for art and a desire to share this passion with her clients, Jenni saw the need for a platform where the beauty and significance of First Nations art could be fully appreciated by individuals and organisations.
Our Vision
To create bridges between the corporate world and First Nations communities, promoting a deeper understanding and appreciation of indigenous cultures through art. By choosing artwork from Indigenous Connect, organisations not only beautify their spaces but also support the economic and cultural thriving of First Nations artists.
Our Mission
Our mission is straightforward yet profound: to amplify the voices of First Nations artists and ensure their art finds a place in spaces where decisions are made, culture is shaped, and communities are built. We strive to facilitate not just transactions, but true partnerships that honour the heritage and stories of First Nations peoples.
Our Future
Looking ahead, Indigenous Connect aims to expand its reach, connecting more artists with opportunities and advocating for broader recognition and appreciation of First Nations art. We are dedicated to nurturing a community where art is a bridge to understanding, respect, and unity.
