Acknowledgment of Country
I, Alejandra Marin Oyarce, respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land of Naarm (Melbourne), the Wurundjeri Woi-Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation, and pay my respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. I am grateful for the opportunity to live, create and learn on this land, and honour the enduring cultures, knowledge and connection to Country that continue to guide and inspire. I also extend my respect and gratitude to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and to First Nations peoples around the world, recognising their deep connections to land, waters, culture and community, and the deep wisdom carried through countless generations.
