A hip-hop track and a mural have been revealed at a first-of-its-kind NAIDOC Week event in Murray Bridge.

Each of the two projects came from collaboration between youth mental health organisation Headspace, youth centre the Station, creative local young people and established artists.

About 50 people gathered at Headspace in Murray Bridge on Thursday for a smoking ceremony and the unveiling of the colourful mural in its foyer.

The crowd then walked down the street to the Station for lunch and a musical performance.

The joint event was held in celebration of NAIDOC Week and its theme for 2022: get up, stand up, show up.

In front of the mural they completed together are Dale Trotter, Jordan Gay, Harley Hall, Aninna Tarasenko, Tayla Gay, Suzi Koolmatrie, Ros Richards and Valentina Tarasenko. Photo: Peri Strathearn.
