As Asian diasporic communities living and creating on unceded Aboriginal land, we recognise the ongoing sovereignty of First Nations peoples and stand in solidarity with their voices and creative expression. We would like to acknowledge and pay respects to the people of the Woi Wurrung and Boon Wurrung language groups of the eastern Kulin Nation on whose country we live and create. We pay our respects to the Elders past and present, as well as future generations. This always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
