Ahead of the 2025 WA Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Sector Conference, we are thrilled to reveal the official conference artwork, Kalyokool (Forever) created by graphic designer and artist Kieron Pearce. Kieron is a Goreng Noongar man from Kinjarling (Albany). His work was inspired by this year’s theme, Nurturing a Strong Tomorrow Through Culture, Care, and Community.

This piece starts with our ancestors, symbolised by 24 stars, each representing a guiding light. Journey lines connect these stars to the centre, passing through six layers that represent the 60,000+ years of the world’s oldest continuous living culture. The ripples in each layer symbolise the knowledge and culture passed down through generations, like a fingerprint marking our past.

At the centre is a meeting place where people from all backgrounds come together. The first ring shows 24 people gathered around a fire, representing AHCWA and its 23 Member Services, surrounded by dots that symbolize the community we serve and our shared commitment and hope for a better future.

As you move inward, swirling elements lead to a central campfire, a place of deep spiritual significance where stories, memories, and dances are shared. The colours in this piece are inspired by the beauty of a sunset, with yellows, oranges, purples, and blues reflecting the night sky as stars emerge.

This is a tribute to nurturing a strong tomorrow through culture, care, and community.
