What do our shared experiences around land and water sovereignty and their intersection with the built environment say about our future visions for Australian place? Carroll Go-Sam of the University of Queensland is joined by Sarah Lynn Rees and Dillon Kombumerri in a discussion that explores this intersection and the role architecture can play in valuing Indigenous sovereignty, narratives and histories.

Based in Birrarung-ga (Melbourne), she is an architectural practitioner, academic and writer. She is also prominent advocate and advisor with a firm commitment to Indigenising the built environment.
