An interdisciplinary design practice spanning the fields of spatial design, performance design and Indigenous studies, the work questions how Indigenous narratives sit in colonised spaces of theatre. As a theatrical design relating to the Aboriginal experiences of Country and contemporary Indigenous identities, it addresses themes such as Indigenous women’s worldviews, ongoing effects of colonisation, and intergenerational women’s business.
Djinjama honours our connections to Country, community, culture and kin through our work. Djinjama’s projects actively interact with lands, waters and air, and as such we actively protect the rights of Country to be healthy in our work. We respect Traditional Custodians who have long cared for Country and aim to elevate First Voices in all our work. We are grateful to Elders and Knowledge Holders for their continued sharing of wisdom, story, language, and knowledge.
