Journey of Learning: First Nations Collaboration
The "Journey of Learning" collection by Butler Diaries is a collaboration with First Nations artist Anne Leon – Nhuralama. It features four interconnected diary covers that symbolise the pathways of Early Childhood Education and Care, from children's centres to educational leadership. The artwork integrates Indigenous symbols and metaphors, such as the "River of Knowledge," emu tracks, and campfires, to reflect cultural connections and community engagement. Designed for the 2026 diaries, this art collection serves as both a functional tool and a visual narrative, honouring traditional knowledge while providing a framework for contemporary educational practice.
