Decolonising Curatorial Practices
Indigenous-led storytelling, intercultural exchange, and immersive exhibition design
My research explores how Indigenous storytelling can lead the way in rethinking curatorial practice and immersive exhibition design. Grounded in collaboration and lived experience, I work with artists and communities across Australia and Malaysia to co-create spaces where stories of Country, culture, and care can be shared. This is about shifting how stories are told—so they are shaped by those who hold them.

Funding & Support
My research has been made possible through the generous support of scholarships, grants, and partnerships that recognise the value of Indigenous-led creative research, intercultural exchange, and community collaboration.
I have been supported through the Helen Stacey Bunton Philanthropic Scholarship, the Aboriginal Research Enterprise Partnership Scholarship, and the Marcia Nichol Women in Research Scholarship Top-Up, which together have provided foundational support for the development of my PhD research and creative practice.
International collaboration has been further enabled through the Helen Stacey Bunton International Travel Grant, supporting on-Country exchange, relationship-building, and collaborative work with Temuan Orang Asli artists and community in Malaysia.
Creative and community-focused aspects of this research have been supported by a Regional Arts Australia Grant, as well as three SA Museum Inspiring SA Grants, awarded across the areas of:
-
Community Engagement
-
Reconciliation
-
STEM & Arts Engagement
These funding contributions have supported workshops, community engagement activities, intercultural exchange, and the development of immersive exhibition outcomes.
Together, this support reflects a shared commitment to fostering Indigenous storytelling, strengthening community-led practice, and creating meaningful cultural exchange across local and international contexts.
