Such an effective intro by Melissa Marshall who starts off her presentation by acknowledging traditional owners of the land [Australia] upon which she is recording this presentation. #community #inclusive #IICCongress
Melissa investigated the conservation and management of rock art sites across Australia from a decolonized perspective. The majority of the research has been culturally driven and a result of #community based research initiatives #IICCongress
Map of where Kakadu National Park is. Estimated 20,000 rock art sites! #IICCongress
The rock art is important because that is where the stories and cultures come from. Looking after art sites looks after the culture. Love hearing from the local #community about rock art conservation and its importance to them #IICCongress
Listening to the aboriginal leaders brought about this framework. It needs to be understood from inside and working outwards #communities #stakeholders #IICCongress
