In this podcast episode I share space with Ginny Jones, Marley Morgan and Deline Briscoe to explore their artistry and businesses as fierce Aboriginal women.

Calling in from different corners of the globe we discussed a vast landscape of topics, sharing stories of our experiences. We delved into cultural through our arts practice when it comes to grief, healing country and re-learning and discovering knowledge once lost. We look deeply into this topic of legacy and the resources that these women are establishing to pass down to their children and these emerging elders.

We also explore this trend of, ‘breaking the system’, and how our thought process and fight changes over time. We also explore this new idea of not needing to break the system to succeed, but supporting our community to work within this established system and to make change from the inside and how success can come from more than just the colonial monetary value.

Come, sit with us and learn the stories of Ginny, Marley and Deline.

In this podcast episode I speak with three Pacific Islander Artists and Creatives, Julia Mageau-Gray, Reina Sutton and Maryann Talia Pau. These three Aunties have worked extensively across Australia, Aotearoa and the rest of the globe. We spend time discussing how to we create culturally safe spaces for our community to experiment with their arts practice and the “fairy-godmother/bob-the-builder” individuals we have worked with who help us create this spaces and bring arts projects into fruition. We delve into the (at times) frustrating realities of accessing funding to get a project off the ground, the impact covid has had on the flow of creative juices and so much more.

My original project proposal was exploring this idea of the ways we “bring in” cultural knowledge to our work and practice. What I learnt in these episodes is that these areas of our lives cannot be segregated, but they are one and the same, our “cultural arts practice” is just “our practice”.

I hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I loved sitting in space with these aunties, recording their words and then being trusted to share them with you.

As First Nations people, we have been encompassed with cultural knowledge since before we were born, our ways of teaching and learning vary, whether it be through dance, song, craft or oral storytelling. It is true that learning has been central to our ways of living, being and belonging.

But, how do you navigate cultural learning in a space where sometimes you are the only culturally diverse child or family in a community? How do you stay connected to culture, when you're not on your own country? And, if you're an educator how do you ensure children and families feel acknowledged and a sense of belonging in your organisation?

These are the questions I explore with three Cultural Inclusion Educators, Jackie Bennett, Cecelia Wright and Ranu James. Join us as we explore the education sector, the experiences these women have had in their careers and the vital impact cultural inclusion support and resources have on not only our babies, but also our families, educators and wider community.
