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 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.

"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."

This is as much a talk as it is a compelling call to action, listen to their words.  "Palestinian activists and the Blak Caucus invite you to this plenary on unceded Gadigal land.  Our siblings in Palestine face a genocide, their existence at risk of total wipeout.

We invite all Blackfullas, Palestinians, Indigenous peoples across the globe. We invite trusted allies and those keen to attend with an open mind and without racism in their hearts.  Always was, always will be. From the river to the sea."

Where would Race Matters be without Tanya Ali? Honestly, we probably wouldn't exist. As well as being one of the founding co-hosts of the show, Tanya was a luminous compass for the show’s vision and growth in her time as executive producer and continues to nurture what we do. Somewhere in the haze of post-lockdown she graciously stepped out of her volunteer role as Executive Producer and never got a final show. SO this morning we are going to honor her her years of work and the real labour it took to uphold it, and are excited to have her as our special guest. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
