Dylan Finney is a designer and artist living on Darkinjung Country. His family is from Arnhem Land, coming originally from Ngukurr. His work explores identity, past and present cultures and how their stories and lessons interact with modern life. 

Donella Waters is a proud descendant of the Kamilaroi Nation. Her grandparents and their mob come from the old Eueabra camp site in North Western NSW, long before the Government relocated them to Boggabilla Aborigines Mission, later renamed Toomelah Mission. She has fond memories of growing up on the mission, and is forever grateful to her Elders past and present, who taught her how to love, respect, share, and to stay strong in our culture.
