Decolonize this place
Sunday 29 July 2018
In collaboration with New York based collective Decolonize This Place, SEVENTH Gallery is hosting a public forum to extend its commitment to decolonising its structure and program.
Standing in solidarity with local First Nations groups and community organisations, the discussion will focus on how to create a culturally safe space and oppose gentrification in Gertrude Street.
SEVENTH Board members Andy Butler and Hanann Al Daqqa will be joined by Amin Husain & Nitasha Dhillon of Decolonize This Place (via Skype) along with NYC DJ and poet Jive Poetic, and local community representatives, taking an intersectional approach to decolonizing our place.
Decolonize This Place is a space that is action-oriented around indigenous struggle, black liberation, Free Palestine, global wage workers and de-gentrification.
Thanks to Footscray Community Arts Centre for touring Jive Poetic to Australia.
