What is collaboration? This forum centres on inter- and intra-cultural collaboration, which is a representational keystone of 'Still in my mind'. Representatives engaged in 'Still in my mind' discuss their distinct and interlinked roles in the creative-led aspects of this project.
Collaboration: from whose perspective and on whose terms? is chaired by Hetti Perkins, Arrernte/Kalkadoon woman, independent curator and consultant. Perkins was recently honoured by UNSW with an Alumni Award for her services to Arts and Culture.
