DAMN Writing

We live and work on the lands of the Wurundjeri and Boonwurrung Peoples of the Kulin Nation.

We respectfully acknowledge and pay our respects to their elders past, present and emerging, and extend our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples from all communities.

Sovereignty was never ceded, and the ongoing fight for treaty and self determination is urgent.

‘DAMN Writing’ is an iterative writing project that runs alongside the Think Tank Dance Assembly (TTDA). Its chapters are written by people who have been engaged in TTDA activities, and who responded to an open call for contributions, or to a direct invitation based on their connection to a key topic, activity or perspective within the sub-culture. The editing team came together in the same way.
