Dominic Guerrera is a Kaurna and Ngarrindjeri poet and visual artist who resides on northern Kaurna Yarta. His interdisciplinary practice moves between poetry and text-based visual art, with language operating as both literary form and visual material. Across his work, Guerrera engages deeply with themes of Aboriginal truth-telling, self-determination and live experience.

Guerrera is an award-winning writer whose work often combines political clarity with personal intimacy, whilst challenging colonial narratives and institutional power.  He received the ‘Oodgeroo Noonuccal Indigenous Poetry Prize’ and the ‘David Unaipon Award’ for his forthcoming Poetry Collection Native Rage, through University of Queensland Press. He is the First Nations editor at ‘Cordite Poetry Review’, one of Australia’s leading online poetry journals.

Alongside his literary practice, Guerrera’s visual art extends his engagement with text into physical space. Working across printmaking, screen-printing, ceramics, and installation. His visual works often draw on the same concerns as his poetry, translating language into storytelling.

In recent years, Guerrera has exhibited text-based visual works that have received strong audience response and will continue to expand into storytelling formats while continuing to provoke audiences to be uncomfortable with the truth.

Dominic’s day job sees him working with regional Aboriginal artists as an Aboriginal First Nations Creative Producer. Dominic works as both a producer and an advocate to bring to life regional Blak stories to a wider South Australian audience.

My name is Aunty Michelle Jacquelin-Furr and I am a Traditional Owner and  First Nations Elder of Boandik country living at Port MacDonnell (Ngaranga), South Australia.  I am a cultural storyteller and playwriter and am passionate about reviving my traditional language, Bunganditj.  I have published two picture books about my great grandmother Aunty Annie Brice, and a special feature of these books is the inclusion of Bunganditj language. More recently I have been working on a script for theatre about the life of Annie Brice.

My background is in Education. I worked for over thirty years at TAFE in Sydney NSW in Tourism and  Hospitality and the last four as South West Sydney Institute Aboriginal Development Manager. My daughter and I ran a very successful  business , an aboriginal long day care centre, Playful Beginnings Aboriginal Corporation in Liverpool NSW before I returned back to country in South Australia.

I currently run  Boandik workshops at schools all over the Limestone Coast as well as at nunga aboriginal playgroup in Mount Gambier (Berrin), incorporating cultural perspectives, bunganditj language appreciation, weaving, storytelling and using my books, ‘Annie’s Story – Growing up Strong on Boandik country’ and ‘Annie connects with Boandik culture’ to connect meaningfully to history  and language through family storytelling.

In 2021 I began organising ‘cultural bus tours – through the eyes of Aunty Annie Brice’. This involved organising half day and full day tours around the local area. We travel to specific locations and I tell the story of how this land was before colonisation, impacts of settlement, massacres, re -tell Creation and Dreaming stories, sing and dance on country, weaving on country…….To date there have been 28 bus tripsI also tutor for Adelaide University at Berrin campus on the Aboriginal Pathways programme teaching Aboriginal Knowledges Narrative.

Pangula Mannamurna Aboriginal Health Corporation in Berrin has employed me since 2024 as the Birthing on Country cultural advisor(BOC) in conjunction with Southern Cross University. This new challenge has a more direct focus on assisting and providing specific cultural advice and support for local mums and bubs, BOC coordinator, midwives, ISISTAQUIT project team and the Southern Cross University.
