Dr Anne Poelina presented recently at the ‘Architects Declare’ movement online Webinar 004 - Climate and Biodiversity Emergency, speaking alongside guests Professor Sarah Bekessy and Ann McGregor.

“this is quite timely in regards to inviting a traditional owner, such as myself, to bring this conversation into this space, because what we're saying is that in a time of this global emergency, where climate change is quickly spiraling into climate chaos, what we are needing to do is bring in collective wisdom in terms of being able to one, rightsize the planet, but to look at the complexity of what we are dealing with. So in our world, we have a concept of collective wisdom, a system Allodial title, which means the absence of Law, the opportunity to bring in a wide range of different indigenous science, which a lot of people call it, 'traditional knowledge'. But as the first people of this land, who have been the first farmers, the first architects, the first engineers, all of these sorts of forms of science, I think there's a great opportunity to not only, in this time, globally, to think that Black Lives Matter, but indigenous wisdom does too.”
