Networks of Solidarity – Through Our Stories

Through Our Stories explores the value of storytelling in communicating shared beliefs and cultural knowledge as well as articulating shared struggle and trauma. The talk explores storytelling through film, images, dance and language as an important way of countering dominant and oftentimes exclusionary narratives. This event encompasses the diversity in storytelling practices including indigenous storywork, truth-telling and language activism.

Networks of Solidarity – Between Our Minds

Between Our Minds explores sustainable practices of collective care in building communities. Recognising burnout within the community, organising and resisting contemporary individualistic and commodified versions of self-care, this discussion brings together the experiences and wisdom of four guests who practice care in different ways. How can food, healing and creative practice become mediums in which to embody care? Gadigal, Dharug, Bidjigal and Yuin Elder Aunty Rhonda Dixon-Grovenor, a custodian of cultural knowledge on Gadigal Country (present-day Sydney) and her daughter Nadeena Dixon (Gadigal, Wiradjuri and Yuin) perform a Welcome to Country, a ritual performed by traditional owners to welcome visitors to their land.
