OUR METHODOLOGY
BARRI MARRUMA
place making
Dunghutti
Murawin’s Country-centric methodology
that ensures Country, community and Indigenous knowledge informs all the projects we work on and guides us through intercultual collaboration and co-design.
In an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander view, Country is everything.
It is not only the place itself but everything that makes up that place: the land, water, skies, animals and the people. More importantly are the relationships, the energy, and the space in between the individual parts. Nothing exists in isolation; it is a part of a complex system, with all elements in constant interconnection and interrelatedness, where context is everything.
INTERCULTURAL INTERCONNECTED INTERRELATED
Barri Marruma provides a four-phase framework
that provides an achoring to Country and ensures that our services are rooted in context, deep listening, participatory engagement, exploratory co-design and ambitious vision.
TRUTH
Deep listening enables unearthing and uncovers the project truths, the roots.
The deeper the roots, the deeper and longer lasting the impact
The deeper the roots, the deeper and longer lasting the impact
KNOWLEDGE
