    We're joined by Inez, a radio broadcaster on 3CR's Thursday Breakfast, community organiser and mental health worker.

  • A stunning and expansive world conjured by Aaqila aka halalbutch

    Aaqila is a writer, artist, DJ and community organiser based on Whadjuk land and sometimes Gadigal land. Their habitude operates towards providing tools for collective liberation beyond the tools of the institution; which manifests in different ways from the dinner table to the gallery. Their threads of research are drawn from Malay-Anglo subjectivities and move slowly through contemporary and ancestral understandings of gender, collective healing and embodied ritual. They have written for numerous publications across so-called Australia including Disclaimer Journal, un Magazine, Granville Centre Art Gallery, sweet pea and several more. They recently participated in the Muslim Poetry Project with Sweatshop Literacy Movement and the Asia Pacific Exchange Program with Perth Institute of Contemporary Art and Grey Projects in Singapore. They also perform and DJ semi-regularly under varying pseudonyms.

  • "Space is scared. We often think that space is related to the physical and the tangible but also the metaphysical. To hold space for someone is a great gift. In today's world, we all have these pockets of existence, but we rarely and genuinely hold space for others that is more than just superficial. To hold space for another is to exist with them at that moment - to share breath and existence. If we want to build the bridges between ignorance and discrimination, we must share breath. australian Indigenous culture is defined by how we are connected. Even before we are born, we have already been given a song- a story. We were born with a place in this world and, with that, a legacy. Through this legacy, we as a people know that we are a part of this land and everything and everyone inhabiting it. We were born to hold space and share breath."

    With roots in the Larrakia Nation of Garamilla (Darwin) and Erubam Le peoples of Meriam Mir. A trailblazing filmmaker, broadcaster and community-builder.

  • "โ A journey through time, and gender- exploring Dalit womanhood and Dravidian masculinity through an anti-caste and trans lens. Bounded and centred by an all-Dalit & Tamil Greek chorus consisting of photographer Jaisingh Nageshwaran, scholar Dr. Roja Singh, community oragniser Grace Banu and wise young woman Ritu Elizabeth Samuel, soundtracked by rapper nasbandi - and me."

    R.Talitha Samuel is a cultural producer based in New Delhi. Featuring only guest experts from caste-oppressed communities, Clear Blue Skies S1: Experiencing Ambedkar (2021-23) was a radical political theory podcast that Samuel hosted & edited. It built on the final year seminar Samuel developed & led, which was the first university-level course on anti-caste thought across Turtle Island. Currently, the larger project of Clear Bue Skies Productions is expanding into mixed media collaging, experimental research-based narrative soundscapes & sonic ethnography.
