We’re delighted to have donated our First Scientists painting to Scienceworks Victoria

 

We were delighted to donate a painting commissioned by the RACI ‘First Scientists’ to Scienceworks Museum in Victoria. Commissioned in 2022 and painted by Indigenous artist Steven Bekue, the painting depicts Mr. Bekue’s vision of our first nation peoples' integral relationship with the land and natural sciences. The painting will be on display for all visitors to enjoy.


Pictured is RACI President, Prof. Amanda Ellis FRACI CChem at the official handover with Scienceworks staff being represented by Mr. Jonathan Shearer, General Manager; Ms. Phoebe Melvin, Public Programs Producer; and Ms. Jess Alderton, First Peoples Senior Program Officer.

Great to see. I've often wondered what engagement RACI has with Australia's First Peoples, as there is no mention of them within our constitution nor do we appear to have a division/group advocating for this country's first chemists.
