Collaborations and Cultural Integrity

   Before You Reach Out

If you are considering reaching out, please read the Baramadagal Darug  Engagement Guide.

My work is rooted in cultural integrity, sovereignty, and relational accountability. I engage in partnerships that align with these values and practices.

• Film-makers: please be familiar with Screen Australia's Pathways & Protocols and have taken Our Race's Transformational Ethical Story Telling Commitment.
• Build Environment creatives and Academics: Please be familiar with Djinjama's Cultural Principles & Protocols for Designers
• Everybody: please be familiar with UNDRIP and have it inform your understanding of First Nations peoples. 

Solidarity and Community

If you are mob or from another community of people who are subjugated by settler-colonial dynamics please reach out.

True solidarity is reciprocal, respectful, transparent, and grounded in an understanding of the communities you are engaging with. It requires active listening, shared responsibility, and a commitment to supporting one another without solely centring your own community's interests.

It is also important that solidarity work does not reproduce colonial dynamics. Aboriginal knowledge, authority, and sovereignty must be respected throughout any collaboration.

I welcome connections and partnerships that embody these principles: accountability, mutually beneficial, and attentive to cultural integrity and wellbeing.

Approaches that are extractive, self-serving, or reproduce colonial dynamics do not align with these values and are not suitable for engagement.
