The talk touched on how to respectfully have cross cultural conversations with First Nations people, particularly with awareness to geographical locations, as well as social and political stressors. The panel explored the necessity of why having these conversations while remaining conscious of giving First Nations people space for dialogue. Moderator Coby Ann Edgar is a Larrakia, Jingili, Anglo, Filipino, queer, cis-woman from Darwin. Previously the curator of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, she has over 13 years’ experience working in government positions across education, galleries, and museums. She is invested in how First Nations and non-First Nations people work together across industries, especially the arts sector.
