Having worked on the Makassar-Yirrkala artist exchange project, Richard Frankland invited me to work with him on ‘Gunditjmara Bundiya – Gunditjmara Alive‘. ‘Gunditjmara Bundiya’ was a community engagement program that aimed to reclaim, maintain and reinforce Gunditjmara languages and dialects through song. The project brought together Gunditjmara people who, with the assistance of Vicki Couzens and the Victorian Corporation for Aboriginal Languages, translated their song into language. Songwriters learnt to sing their songs in language and then through a series of workshops, including one at Heywood & District Secondary College, taught these songs to community. A key component of the project was a series of short interviews where participants reflected on their experience of writing and singing in language. The project is funded with a grant from Indigenous Language and Arts Program through the University of Melbourne. My role was to help make this happen.
