I acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-Wurrung and Boon Wurrung Peoples on whose land and waters I live and work. I pay my respects to past and present Aboriginal elders and community and recognise their rich history of artmaking and storytelling. Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
