CONJAH is a gathering point of Aotearoa-born artists with various collaborators based in Narrm on Wurundjeri and Boonwurrung country and in Boorloo on Whadjuk Nyoongyar country. In Aotearoa, collaborators were raised on and are based in Tāmaki Makaurau on Ngāti Whatua whenua, in Ōtepoti on Ngāi Tahu whenua, and on Taranaki Whānui ki Te Ūpoko o Te Ika whenua of the Te Awakairangi region. We emphasise that sovereignty and Mana Motuhake in both Aotearoa and so-called Australia has never been ceded. As a collective of Tagata Moana (Pacific), Indigenous and Migrant artists, we recognise the Indigenous communities of Aotearoa and so-called Australia as the first story-tellers of their regions, and we strive to listen and grow in our solidarity and kin-ship, both locally and globally. We pay respect to elders past, present and becoming. May all of us contribute to each other’s liberation.
