Connection to each other and the earth is key to our future. Yet it is easy to feel disconnected and isolated amidst the swarm of people, noise and movement of a bustling modern city. How is our sense of connection related to our cultural identities and values? What do Indigenous cultures and their time-tested ways of being have to teach us?

This week’s storyteller, Hineani Tunoa Roberts, is a Māori / Australian with her own family story of decolonisation. She has always lived with a foot in two worlds. A graphic designer and media artist, Hineani is currently a participant in the Emerging Cultural Leadership program at Footscray Community Arts Centre. Hineani creates public artwork that explores stories of culture, (dis)connection and place.

Join us for a story with heart that unpacks cultural privilege and explores what identity can tell us about connection and place.
