Musarian North Stradbroke Island Museum on Minjerribah
I live and work on Terrangerri / North Stradbroke Island in the lands and waters of the Quandamooka People. My work over the past 25 years at the North Stradbroke Island Museum on Minjerribah brings a strong focus on contemporary storytelling and archival recording of oral histories to become a resource for the community. This is accompanied by genuine co design and the ongoing development of intellectual property protocols that meet the needs of our community. My professional practice is based on principles of equity, respect and recognition of sovereignty.
