Balarinji is an innovative Australian contemporary design studio established in 1983. Designers John and Ros Moriarty created Balarinji to celebrate the birthright of their children’s belonging to two cultures: the 40,000 year old heritage of their father’s Yanyuwa people, blended with their mother’s 200 year colonial history on the Australian continent.

Balarinji graphics express a new mood in Australia: an increasing sense of our individual, confident identity; an embracing of our Indigenous heritage and reconciliation with its guardians. We paint proud pictures of Australia’s contemporary stories and their ancient origins from the world’s oldest living cultural tradition.

“Nganiyanji barra yarrambawaja jiwini awarala ki yijandu kujika jilu-manhanji kurdandu narnu-yuwa nyalunga li-rdiyangu li-ngulakaringu.”

“Ceremony is on the country, from the Dreamings, the song cycles. They are holding the Law intensely for the new people who come behind.”

INDI KINDINespresso is the founding sponsor of indi kindi, a non-profit initiative to relieve poverty and

disadvantage amongst Australian indigenous children and their families, through creating locally

engaged, sustainable opportunity.

Two thirds of Aboriginal eight year olds fail to reach basic Australian benchmarks in literacy and numeracy. Indi kindi applies new thinking and piloting of early childhood resources and programs to change this statistic by improving literacy and numeracy outcomes among 0-5 year old children in remote bush communities. Many of these children have barely seen a book before they begin school. The failure of their subsequent educational experience perpetuates inter-generational disadvantage and lifelong hardship.

With the support of Nespresso, Indi kindi is using the Balarinji design archives to create a range of reading and counting materials for use by very young bush children, their parents/relatives and teaching professionals. These resources are matched with additional materials, and best practice teaching and support models. Indi kindi is being piloted in Borroloola, NT. It is being trialled, measured, sustained locally, and scaled up for expansion across remote Australia.
