Conversations with the Assembly #1: Elisa Jane Carmichael

“I think engaging in the discussion of White Australia rather than avoiding or being angry at it helps you in everyday life, and to be absolute about who is white and who is black today doesn’t progress the discussion of healing.”

Conversations with the Assembly is a podcast produced by Cristian Tablazon in conversation with the inaugural cohort of the Regional Assembly. Foregrounding personal and networked histories, their distinct voices, and the imbrications of their diverse practices with the nuances of identity, locality, and place, the relations of production, and the broader geopolitical life, each episode will amplify, challenge, and entwine the many threads of discourse and dialogue that unfold during the Regional Assembly.
