We had a great chat about the mostly untapped wisdom of our elders - the magic of creating a space where Elders can be seen and heard and the learning that came out of that and the nature of this project that is so definitely ongoing and inclusive and empowering! 
Get in touch with Ali if you want to be involved in her movement - get yourself a t-shirt wear it proudly and get along to see the Exhibition if you can. 
I will also keep you all posted in regards to the upcoming exhibition in june at ACU in Fitzroy - so we can become seen on the throne of visibility!

Thanks to Ali for her time and wise words.
