First Nations led Imagine Talk on co-creation, equity & power in the arts.
Led in partnership with GARUWA, Shifting Ground & Diversity Arts Australia.
From Consultation to Co-Creation: Strengthening Relational Practice
In conversation with Clothilde Bullen, Ben Graetz & Genevieve Grieves
📅 Wednesday 10 September
🕛 12:00 PM AEST
📍 Online Event (via Zoom)
Co-creation is a commitment to equity, trust and the redistribution of power. This program will demonstrate the critical relationship between self-determination and co-creation, and why ensuring First Nations peoples have control over creative cultural practice is fundamental in ethical, creative collaborations.
We will explore how to strengthen relational practices by identifying who has power and understanding what it means to return it to those who hold responsibility of story, leading us to unpack what ethical collaborations look like and how we can activate models for First Nations leadership and co-design.

ABOUT SHIFTING GROUND
Developed by Dr Lilly Brown (Gumbaynggirr) and Genevieve Grieves (Worimi), Shifting Ground is an Aboriginal-owned and women-led enterprise that supports organisations and individuals from diverse communities, including First Nations peoples, to foster meaningful conversations that connect people’s lived experiences with the broader systems that shape them.
These conversations create safe spaces to develop a critical language and understanding around decolonisation, race, privilege, power and whiteness, cultural safety and intercultural collaboration. They are designed to shape how you think, work, and lead, both personally and professionally, in relation to First Nations people and our shared colonial history and present. By cultivating conscious awareness of power and relationships, Shifting Ground strengthens your capacity to act with purpose on, and navigate the complexities of, issues of culture and race.
