We acknowledge the traditional owners of Naarm (where the city known as Melbourne now stands), the people of the Woi wurrung and Boon wurrung language groups of the eastern Kulin Nation, whose sovereignty was never ceded. The Big Anxiety also pays our respect to the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation on whose unceded land we also live and work. We pay our respect to elders past, present and emerging, and to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from across the continent who will come together in The Big Anxiety.
