An ATO NAIDOC Week Commission

Kelly Taylor and T'keyah Ware collaborated on a commission for the Australian Taxation Office's NAIDOC Week celebrations, representing ATO People & Community coming together to build a brighter future for all Australians.

The commission was created to mark NAIDOC Week, a time when organisations across Australia celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

This collaboration reflects KTAFA's growing work with federal government agencies, creating authentic Aboriginal artwork that carries cultural storytelling into public sector spaces.

People & Community Coming Together

NAIDOC Week

People & Community Coming Together

The artwork depicts people gathering, meeting circles and connecting pathways, symbolising the ATO community's commitment to reconciliation and the shared journey toward a more inclusive future.

Meeting circles are a central symbol in Aboriginal art, representing the places where people come together to share knowledge, make decisions and build community — a theme that resonated deeply with the ATO's vision for its people and the community it serves.

The connecting pathways between the circles represent the relationships being built across the organisation, reaching outward to the broader Australian community.

Building a Brighter Future

The ATO NAIDOC Week commission represents the organisation's commitment to building a brighter future for all Australians, with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples at the heart of that vision.

This commission is part of KTAFA's broader work with government agencies, creating authentic Aboriginal artwork that carries cultural storytelling into the public sector and celebrates NAIDOC Week with meaning and respect.

Each KTAFA government commission is created with cultural integrity at its centre, ensuring the stories shared through the artwork honour the knowledge and traditions passed down through generations.
