Rowena Welsh-Jarrett, Dakota Dixon and Alison Page

Rowena Welsh-Jarrett is a Dharawal, Gumbaynggirr and Gamilaraay woman with ties to multiple coastal communities and clans including the Gadigal. Rowena is a culture and heritage practitioner that has been working to integrate Aboriginal knowledges, stories, truth telling, history and engagement with the delivery of built environment projects. Her work is at the forefront of the growing movement to decolonise architecture and planning practices in Australia.

As a Dharawal–Dunghutti–Yuin woman, Dakota Dixon merges cultural traditions with contemporary styles to tell stories of Country, identity, and connection. Her multidisciplinary practice spans visual art, design, and curatorship. Raised on Bundjalung Country and now living on Gadigal land in Sydney, Dakota’s work is a powerful reflection of her cultural heritage and contemporary practice.

Alison Page is a Dharawal and Yuin artist and designer with an extensive career spanning design, public art, interiors and urban design. Her career began in the late 90’s working in architecture and interior design in Australia’s first Aboriginal architecture group Merrima. Her practice is collaborative, working with communities to explore the memory of place and to converge urban design, sculpture, interiors, and film to tell their stories.
