In all that we do, we acknowledge that the foundations of Milk Crate Theatre are on Gadigal land of the Eora Nation and that wherever we create, we walk in the footprints of the ancestors that were here before us. We pay respects to the tradition of storytelling of the First Peoples, practiced by the earth’s longest living culture and pay homage to this. We embrace those stories of the past and continue to share stories of the now. We pay respect to Elders past, present and to walk side by side, hand in hand for a healing future. Sovereignty was never ceded, and we acknowledge those who have nurtured and respected the land for generations before us. (Co-written with Peta-Joy Williams, a Wiradjuri woman and artist, and Jessica Pantano)
