In this final (for the fore-seeable future) podcast episode I share space with Lisa Villiamu and Mary Harm exploring the ways they advocate for their community through the arts and engagement projects.
We explore their entrance into community leadership and the ways their work has been both healing and inspiring. Lisa and Mary share stories of how their work and side-projects incorporate their cultural knowledge and practice in their activism for multiple social issues including climate change.
There are multiple narratives that are often plastered on our First Nations Oceanic community. We explore some of these - being "afakasi"; living in a patriarchal society; pillars in Western society that define and restrict us, and many more. Lisa and Mary share how their work and the work of others is shifting these narratives.
We also explore the value and strength of our women and some of the lessons they have had to learn which have been difficult but much needed - like the value of rest.
Come and sit with us as we explore what it is like being a proud and loud Pacific woman living in Australia.
