We would like to invite you to be part of a research project about poetry as a vehicle for sharing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledges, stories, histories and languages about Country. We are a team of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal researchers from the University of the Sunshine Coast, Batchelor Institute and the University of Queensland. You will be asked to attend a 3-hour online Indigenous Poetry Wandiny Creative Gathering on Wed 19 August 4-7pm where you will explore the theme of Country as Home with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander poets and elders and Indigenous and non-Indigenous, transgenerational members of the audience. You will write poetry in response to the stories of Elders and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander poets and artists about Country as home.
