The theme and title of this event represents the season of Makuru (the wet season on Noongar Boodja) and the deep connection Noongar/First Nations peoples have with the waterways – specifically on Noongar Boodja the Derbarl Yerrigan (swan river) as the resting place of the Noongar creation spirit the Waugal. It also acknowledges the wetlands that existed prior to colonisation – that the Perth (Boorloo) CBD now sits on top of.
We are the River also recognises the fluidity and ever-flowing nature of queerness and identity – and acknowledges the fact that queerness has existed long before us in many different shapes and forms.
NGALAK NIDJA BILYA has been produced by Tanesha Bennell (Rainbow Futures, WAAC, Boorloo Justice) in association with The Rechabite.
