YARNS

First Nation experiences, perspectives and processes have much to contribute to understanding, making sense and taking action in complexity.

Through a partnership with Indigenous Knowledge Systems Lab (Deakin University), Cynefin Centre, Cynefin Centre Australia and Complexability, a series of wide ranging and emergent Yarns were held with Indigenous Thinkers from Australia, Wales, Papua New Guinea, Canada and New Zealand exploring concepts of language, culture, spirituality, scale, similarities and differences and more.

You can experience or re-experience each of the Yarns below.
