Lismore Quad invites you to share in the outdoor screening of a new documentary, Our Place, Our Species—an inspiring journey into the world of native plants and their caretakers in the Bundjalung region. Local presenter and sound artist Mitch King, travels on country to learn from each of these caretakers.
Co-Produced by Mitch King and directed by Karenza Ebejer, Our Place, Our Species shines a light on Aboriginal people within the Northern Rivers doing incredible work to preserve and protect native plants in this region. The caretakers interviewed are each working in ways to benefit the land. They share stories of the plants they have knowledge of and reflect on their connection to country. Each brings a range of perspectives to the topic of ecology while also joining together in acknowledging and valuing the importance of First Nations practices.
