International Women's Day Poster 2021
2021 'We are the strength of our generations. In this together, we shape our future.'
Acknowledging that the year 2020 has been unlike any other in living memory, this year’s International Women’s Day poster celebrates the strength of generations of Indigenous women.
AIATSIS commissioned collaborating artists, Rachael Sarra, Goreng, and Charlotte Allingham, Wiradjuri, Ngiyampaa to create the artwork.
The artists describe the vision of their contemporary work as ‘inspired by the strong and resilient women who have come before us and walk next to us as we navigate a world unfamiliar to our ancestors and limited by distance.'
‘It is celebrating the legacy of over 60,000 years of culture running through our bloodlines, from our past through to our present.'
While both artists share a contemporary approach that speaks to a feminine strength, their styles are very different. Learn more about the artists and their story.
On this year’s International Women’s Day we honour all of the strong women working to keep families and communities safe.

About The artist
Each year at AIATSIS we celebrate International Women’s Day to acknowledge the women around the globe who continue to empower women and girls through leadership, advocacy, strength and courage. Whether its women in their local communities and regions or on the international stage, women continue to strive to make a difference to the lives of children and families.
Over the years, we have produced an International Women’s Day poster that features an inspirational image from the AIATSIS Collection or a prominent role model in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
