“
Culture is at the heart of Australian First People ’ s creative practice . It ’ s a living history of one of the oldest cultures in the world . I want to know how we can respect that and how we can contribute to language revival through this medium , and in turn give back by working with language using best practice , says Liza-Mare Syron .
