The north-west shelf of Western Australia is said to be where the Songlines of this continent began. No surprise then, that the people here would be showcasing and reconnecting their convergent and resurgent cultures in spectacular ways – via the media, projects and enterprises we talked about in the previous episode - and with the Songs for Freedom project. Join us back in Roebourne / Ieramugadu with Patrick Churnside, a Traditional Custodian from the Ngarluma and Yindjibarndi language groups, who is at the heart of Songs for Freedom, and so much else.  Earlier this year, with a leading arts and social change organisation in Australia called Big hART, and a host of star performers from around Australia, Patrick and the community here launched the Songs for Freedom album, at the start of its ongoing national tour.The mission and message is for us to come together to change the drastic over-incarceration of Indigenous youth and children in Australia. What's been dubbed The Freedom Collective seeks to change this story nationally, and they’re changing the story for themselves locally too. The New Roebourne project, with the support of elders, has seen many years now of strong community involvement creating music, theatre, performance and digital content.
