$20 waged and by donation for unwaged - This is a fundraiser, please buy a ticket or donate if able :-)

Venue will be in Muloobinba (Newcastle). To be announced soon.

An event not to be missed! In collaboration with Uncle Wayne ‘Coco’ Wharton (Treaty before Sports), Derek ‘Roscoe’ Tipper (special rapporteur RATA) and a collective of First Nations women in Kanaky. The event will explore the role of the Indigenous led feminist movement in liberation, freedom and restitution, for the Sovereign families of the resistance. It connects the struggles of Pacific Indigenous people, the apartheid of the Pacific. 

Travelling with Uncle Coco and Roscoe, is  Uncle Judiloo, a Woomera Law Custodian, who will share the story of Woomera and how the Pacific Aboriginal and Islander peoples come together.

Come join us for panel discussion, food, films and to learn the Woomera story of connection through the Pacific, from Uncle Judiloo. First editions of RATA (physical and digital zine) will be available. “Talking Papers” … meet and listen to the people from the pages!

RATA Media is a joint-venture between the Blak Sovereign Movement, an emerging Pacific Customary Ocean Kingdoms sovereign movement; Blak supply chain business Tonoirs; and leading First Nations interactive design studio Bilbie Virtual Labs.

The Project is to create virtual/digital/physical media spaces to enable greater understanding, respect and recognition of Sovereign First Nations liberation struggle, cultures and their connection to traditional lands and waters.

This event is held with respect for the First Nations peoples of Muloobinba, the Worimi and Awabakal people. This land was never ceded, sovereignty remains and Always was, Always will be Aboriginal Land!
