We stand in solidarity with all Blak, First Nations, Palestinian, Jewish, Arab, and Muslim creatives and allies fighting for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and freedom for Palestinian people.
We operate from a position of deep respect as Indigenous and non-Indigenous settler migrants in Meanjin (Brisbane), standing on the stolen sovereign lands of the Yuggera, Turrbal and Quandamooka people.
We acknowledge and pay our respects to their Eldersโpast, present, and becomingโ in their wisdom, protection and traditional custodianship of all the lands, waterways, and skies across these regions.
We extend this respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
We acknowledge the significant contribution and labour of Yuggera, Turrbal and Quandamooka artists and creatives in our community and the critical role they play in the expression, protection, and transmission of their living cultures.
We acknowledge the history of invasion, occupation, genocide, and the ongoing impacts of colonial state violence existing today, both across the seas and here, across this stolen land that we call home.
We acknowledge that the struggle for a free Palestine is tightly bound to the ongoing struggle for Blak sovereignty in this country and we are committed to the actions of mutual liberation, enduring solidarity, and truth-telling.
