Join us for Meanjin’s (Brisbane) inaugural Urban Agriculture Forum (UAF) on the lands of the Yuggera & Turrbal peoples. We’re excited to hold Queensland’s first UAF at the heritage listed ‘Old Bishopbourne’ (St Francis Theological College) in Milton on Monday 20th November. At this event, we’ll begin to chart a thriving future for urban agriculture in the South-East Queensland region and across Australia.

Keynote presentation - Dominique Chen

Urban spaces are still, and always will be Country. While over 81% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia live in urban environments, they are often spaces where First Nations people and communities are overlooked, marginalised, and disenfranchised. This presentation will explore some of the specific social, cultural and political histories and ongoing realities of urban spaces for First Nations people, and dream into the possibilities and necessities of culturally centred, First Nations-led, urban food initiatives.
