Gamamari Information

After 70 years under the iconic name ‘Tharunka,’ the publication has unveiled its new identity as ‘Gamamari,’ ushering in a new era of storytelling and activism. With its new title, Gamamari hopes to inspire a fresh generation of storytellers to challenge conventions and shape a future defined by courage and commitment to social justice. The publication’s new name ‘Gamamari’ (ga/mar/mar/ee), from the Dharawal language, means “talking for a purpose”. The publication has received crucial support from the Gujaga Foundation, which is the primary organisation and consulting body leading language education and protection within the La Perouse First Nations community. In collaboration with the university’s First Nations collectives such as Little Sister Big Sister, Nuri Gili and associated students, and the First Nations Business Collective, the publication has undertaken extensive steps in selecting its new name. Gamamari's editorial direction is guided by the values of journalistic integrity, creative freedom, and a commitment to amplifying diverse voices. Its top priority is and always will be the students of UNSW.
