‘In our language we say Ngapartji–Ngapartji: a process of doing things together, side by side. To give to one another, to share. This is at the core of our culture, our art centres and communities. Side by side, we work and we lead. We know that if one of us succeeds, we all rise strong. We support each other. We celebrate each other. Because we are one.’ – Robert Fielding

Naarm/Melbourne-based Tobias Titz is a photographer and educator who has worked collaboratively with First Nations communities in the Pilbara, Kimberley, Western Desert, Arnhem Land, Tiwi Islands and Central Australia for more
than a decade.
