  Join us for our Women (seen) lunchtime talk, Intercultural Sister Kin-a talk with Marian Abboud and Vicki Van Hout.

  Marian is a Western Sydney based socially engaged artist of Lebanese heritage who graduated from the University of Western Sydney with a Bachelor of Visual Communication. She is passionate about creating meaning across perceived borders of place, language, and identity. She has exhibited extensively locally and nationally and has collaborated on many dance and performance-based projects including Volume at the AGNSW, Mona Foma in Hobart, 24 Frames, Carriageworks, and her recent performance, Not Her Reflection, a travelling performance at Artspace. FCMG, Granville Art Centre, Pari and UTS Library.

  Vicki Van Hout’s First Nations heritage hails from Wiradjuri country in far Western NSW and she has Dutch, English and Afghan roots as well. Vicki has dedicated her career to Indigenous arts practice as a graduate of NAISDA, Australia ‘s premier Indigenous Dance College. Vicki returned from New York after graduating from Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance NYC to dance with both leading Aboriginal dance companies Bangarra Dance Theatre and AIDT.  Vicki has won the prestigious Australia Council For The Arts Dance Awards and is the current recipient of Creating Australia's Dance Fellowship.

  Marian Abboud and Vicki Van Hout's careers crossed paths as part of a speed dating event pairing multiple dancers with visual artists to then make a pitch to the joint organisers Parramatta Artists Studios and FORM Dance Projects (then known as Western Sydney Dance Action). They won with a work titled Behind The Zig Zag.

  Approximately fifteen years later Abboud and Van Hout have maintained their collaborative partnership which can be distilled as a continuing cultural exploration examining the ways Abboud's Lebanese and Van Hout's Indigenous heritages intersect including paradigms surrounding temporality, being, belief and magic.

  Their talk will focus on the way they navigate kinship structures, more specifically Marian’s inclusion of her immediate family in the process of her solo, and their combined image making.

  Callaloo & Wattleseed

  A Symposium on Caribbean Culture in Australia

  Conferences and seminars
  All welcome
  A Symposium on Caribbean Culture in Australia

  Building on pioneering efforts to recover the long history of Caribbean people in Australia and to understand movements of people between the regions, Callaloo & Wattleseed focuses for the first time squarely on the cultural contributions of Caribbean Australians.

  Caribbean artists from various fields will consider through the prism of their practice questions like: do Caribbean artists work within a ‘diaspora’ or ‘community’ in Australia? Or do their experiences tend to be more isolated, on the one hand, or placed into broader groups, such as the global African or South Asian diasporas, on the other? How have Caribbean artists in Australia navigated the experience of being, in many cases, part of minoritized racial groups? What have been the connections and relations between Caribbean and First Nations people? How do the experiences of Caribbean artists compare with those who have emigrated to other parts of the world?

  This unique one-day symposium will go a long way in providing some the answers.

  National symposium on Australian Traditional Medicine

  The symposium will showcase the development and achievements in Australian traditional medicine, discuss the current issues and foster collaborations.

  Conferences and seminars
  The symposium will showcase the development and achievements in Australian traditional medicine, discuss the current issues and foster collaborations.

  You are invited to the inaugural National Symposium on Australian Traditional Medicine hosted by NICM HRI Western Sydney University in collaboration with Australian National University. The symposium will gather First Peoples of Australia, policy makers, regulators, academics and researchers aiming to showcase the development and achievements in Australian traditional medicine, discuss the current issues and challenges, and foster strong partnerships and collaborations.

  Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the Traditional Owners of Country now known as Australia. Indigenous Peoples of this continent are a diverse people, making up over 250 different language groups, each with their own unique cultures, languages and practices. Accordingly, the medicines used by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are unique and recognised as the oldest continuing Indigenous culture in the world, holding significant Indigenous values in biodiversity and landscapes across Country.

  Respectfully, no one term has been agreed upon by Indigenous Peoples themselves and their respective language groups. The focus of the National Symposium will defer to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander traditional medicines, so we respectfully use the term “Australian Traditional Medicine” to represent these medicines as a whole. We acknowledge that the following terms are also used, along with many others: Indigenous Traditional Medicines, First Nations Traditional Medicines, Bush Medicines, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Traditional Medicines, Indigenous Cultural Medicines and Aboriginal Cultural Medicines.

  Theme: Preclinical and clinical research; IP, ICIP, Indigenous governance and ethics; regulation and commercialisation pathways.
