“Art and storytelling allow trauma to be visualised… Externalised… and re-embedded in its context… Which provides a greater feeling of safety and distance from it over time. In this sense, art can help us process our experiences on some level… To provide a new sense of control over our story and how it should be told.”

I acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land where I live and work, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations. I acknowledge that this land was never ceded and always was, always will be Aboriginal land. I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

I celebrate, value and include people of all backgrounds, genders, sexualities, cultures, age groups, spiritual beliefs, physical abilities and disabilities.
