Manage episode 464249198 series 3586920
Murray van der Veer is a filmmaker and storyteller whose work delves into the intersections of Australia's environment, its First Peoples, and the enduring legacy of colonisation. Murray creates powerful films exploring cultural resilience, environmental stewardship, and the complex relationships forged during colonisation through his company, Moving Words and Pictures.A key project for Murray is Yarning on Country, a program co-designed with his collaborator, Wayne Carberry, a Yuin Walbunja man with a deep connection to culture and community.
Together, they are crafting a film and cultural journey to support the spiritual and emotional well-being of a group of local Aboriginal men, many of whom are reconnecting with their heritage for the first time. Wayne’s perspective will feature prominently in the discussion, highlighting his journey of Yuin fishing traditions, his love of the sea, and his vision for creating spaces where culture and healing intersect.
