Our Race

Story Telling and anti-racism work brought the Our Race team together. Through our combined experiences across the arts, community, academia, government and advocacy we realised there was a need to highlight and address the power imbalances that occur in Story Telling and community engagement practices across society.

We believe that lived experience is the highest level of knowledge and build all of our work from that standpoint, starting with the strength and examples of First Nations’ Story Telling. We honour and prioritise cultural knowledge and safety, which guides our approach to transformative, ethical Story Telling.

We are committed to an anti-racist, intersectional approach, valuing  genuine engagement, reflection, critique and continual improvement.

We recognise the importance of individual wellbeing and safety in Story Telling, as well as the context within which it is told. We believe that individual Stories can add to or challenge mainstream narratives and we are committed to advocating for excluded and marginalised Story Holders.

​Through a collaborative model of engagement we provide spaces, in person and online, where we can confront racist and other oppressive practices through education, capacity building, democratising information and encouraging a transformational, ethical Story Telling and engagement approach.
