Final work
Filming 2022
We collaborated with Bundjalung Custodians Delta Kay, Oliver Costello, and Kris Cook to produce several cultural films, capturing powerful stories, knowledge systems, and practices from Bundjalung Country.
To accompany these, we co-developed four curriculum-aligned unit plans for Years 5–9, offering educators rich and engaging ways to bring Bundjalung perspectives into the classroom including:
- Listening to Bundjalung Country – exploring sound, silence and place by creating annotated sound maps of their own surroundings and reflecting on deep listening as a form of respect
- Voices of Country: Soundscape, Art and Advocacy – turning listening to the needs of Country and our environment into creative action by designing soundscape installations that give voice to Country
- Bushtucker Adventures: Cooking and Culture – investigating native foods and oral traditions, culminating in students scripting and filming their own Bush Tucker cooking and gardening shows
- Fire, Carbon and Country: Understanding Cultural Burning – examining the ecological and cultural power of fire, supported by readings from the Jagun Alliance, and creating fire-resilient artworks using charcoal
Each unit includes classroom-ready activities and Community Classroom Protocols to support safe and respectful delivery and can be found on our education platform, Jajoo Warrngara.
