No Space is Empty brings together knowledge holders from diverse disciplines to discuss the concept of time beyond Western measurements.
This inaugural symposium encourages us to consider how different temporal frameworks shape our worldviews, relationships and practices.
No Space is Empty also opens up the symposium concept: recorded sessions will be available online this August for access at any time.
FOLDING TIME
You touch a tree and know it has seen so much, dip your toes in a river and see the future, walk on earth and have a memory that is not your own. Country and time are interconnected.
Knowledge holders Matte McConnell, r e a, Dr Sarah Lynn Rees
DEEP TIME
Deep Time is future as well as past. It is envisioning new worlds created through Indigenous worldviews and cultures – and these visions are as diverse as Indigenous peoples.
Knowledge holders Dr Mykaela Saunders, Scott Wilson, Gina Cole
FEELING TIME
Stan Grant Jr weaves the political and the personal together, inviting us to reflect on where they intersect in his book Song of Time. In conversation with Rae Johnston, Grant Jr shares the inspiration behind his latest work and his reflections on time right now.
Knowledge holders Stan Grant Jr, Rae Johnston
BEING TIME
Time is interwoven into dance and movement. How we move is formed by time and invokes memory, and dance can create a space that is timefull and timeless.
Knowledge holders Beau Dean Riley, Julia Mage'au Gray, Tammi Gissell
RESPECTING TIME
What we need to do is not determined by a clock hand or by an arbitrary date on the Gregorian calendar but led by our seasonal understandings of Country.
Knowledge holders Courtney Marsh, Dr Chels Marshall, Simione Sevudredre
POEMS
Commissioned poets centre Indigenous temporalities in a site that was a fountainhead of the imposition of colonial time.
These poems will serve as reminders that time is felt, spatial, carried and relational provoking care in how describe and embody time.
