Our Meeting Place Aboriginal Art designed recycled plastic mat is all about bringing people together to converse and grow. Designed by Dean Jakamara Briscoe, an Australian Indigenous artist from the Anmatyerre in the Central Desert region. The symbolism of 'Meeting Place' is people sitting around a central campfire, gathering to discuss the day’s business. The meeting place is significant for many reasons - It's a place for conversation and to build relationships and community. In the modern world, this mat can also be used to invite discussion about many topics, including culture, family life and Indigenous symbols in art.
This Indigenous design is a popular choice for outdoor time in classrooms and day care settings, and also works beautifully indoors for storytelling, arts and crafts. Pair it with other learning resources to support topics like culture, nature, family life and art, while aligning with educational outcomes.
