As a Motuan-Australian woman with mixed-heritage to descendants from Western/colonial nations, I acknowledge that I live, work and create on land where sovereignty has never been ceded by “so-called Australia”’s First People. I wish to acknowledge their elders and ancestors whose stories and histories are embedded in this land. These lands have always been places of creating, learning, story telling and sharing. I bring with me my own stories and collaborate with other Artists to share stories, learn and create and we do these things in good spirit.
