In this talk, Simon Scally focusses on the lessons learned working on housing projects over a 30 year timespan. Simon began working with Bawinanga Aboriginal Corporation (BAC) in the 1990s and BAC constructed 100 homes on outstations (homelands) around Maningrida in central Arnhem land.

Maiya McKenna’s presentation will largely focus on her work on the Larrakia Cultural Centre while touching on themes of practicing in the Top End and what it’s like to emerge in a regional / remote location.

Creative Directors Bobbie Bayley, Owen Kelly and Tonielle Dempers set out to provide an experience that examines the complexity of the arid and remote places of Central Australia.

Over three days in Mparntwe (Alice Springs) and surrounds this gathering will invite delegates to gain a deeper understanding of local complexities.
