On 11 December PRIO had the pleasure of hosting Dr Gillian Howell from the University of Melbourne, Australia. Dr Howell is a musician and researcher whose work investigates the social contributions of music-making in contexts affected by war, displacement, and colonial violence. She engaged in conversation with Chiara Ayad, Member of Masahat, to explore the ways that creative arts can bring voices into dialogue in the aftermath of conflict and how can this support peace, justice, self-determination and intergenerational healing. The conversation was moderated by Cindy Horst, Research Professor at PRIO.
2 minutes of Dr Gillian Howell's presentation was not recorded due to technical difficulties. Gillian began her presentation with an Acknowledgment of Country. This cultural protocol acknowledged that her work takes place on lands traditionally owned by the Wurundjeri people in what is today known as Melbourne, and on Bunuba country in far north-west Australia. She paid her respects to the Elders of these communities and acknowledged their ongoing care for and custodianship of the lands and waterways. She extended this respect to the traditional owners of the lands on which PRIO is located. In Australia, an Acknowledgment of Country is given at the start of a formal meeting or presentation, to show awareness of the traditional ownership of lands, and respect for the First Peoples of a particular location and their Elders.
