Our Women, Our Stories

The podcast, “Our women, Our stories" is a sub-phase of the Australian Council of the Arts funded project, 'Our knowledge, Our practice, Our stories' and invites Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and Pacific Islander women to participate and engage in conversations around the value of cultural knowledge, arts practice and storytelling in our community.

Hosted by Papuan-Australian woman, Moale James this podcast goes into depth to unpack these conversations and themes through hegogo (coming together and talking). Join me as I share space with different First Nations women to learn more about their careers, experiences of reclaiming space and the ways they are empowering themselves and their communities.

Some of the themes we may discuss may include but are no limited to: - Education, intergenerational learning and the importance of incorporating cultural knowledge into our early childhood and education spaces. - Arts and community projects as a form of healing, connection and celebration for our community. - Activism, community healing and the importance of humanising our issues in our activism spaces. - Cultural heritage, management and how do these institutions welcome our voices. - Land management and the use of cultural knowledge and methods in caring for the land.

I invite you to listen with an open heart and mind... these are our women and our stories.
