A proud Gamilaraay/Mandandanji man with family connections to Moree, Roma, and Surat. I am deeply committed to preserving and promoting Aboriginal languages and culture. With a distinction average in a Bachelor of Music and Sound Design from UTS, I am currently writing an honours thesis focusing on the preservation of Gamilaraay language through Moree-based artistry. My research explores the significance of First Nations languages in Australian culture, specifically how Gamilaraay artists immortalise culture through their artistic practice. By investigating the intersection of language, culture, and identity, I hope to connect with my mob and add to Indigenous research methodology and ethical preservation practices.
