SHORE: Story


  • Arts House, North Melbourne Town Hall 521 Queensberry Street North Melbourne, VIC 3051 Australia (map)

Home is not static. It ebbs and flows. Advances and recedes. That’s the beauty of it. It’s not about a house or a static idea. Home is a movement. – Bao Phi, SHORE: Minneapolis

The second component, SHORE: Story, is a curated reading by local authors. Developed in partnership with the Black Writers' Group, Victoria, local writers, and curated by Emily Johnson/Catalyst, the reading features original work relating to home, place, land and country. Writers, poets and storytellers will give voice to the infinite associations, connections and disconnections people have with, to and from, place and country. Conjured in the moment of reading to create a vital, localised context for our stories, memories and definitions of home, SHORE: Storypowerfully explores displacement, belonging, our innate desire for connection, and how we locate home against an ever-shifting shoreline.

Emily Johnson / Catalyst is based on Mannahatta in Lenapehoking. We work to pay respect to Lenape homeland, people and ancestors past, present, and future by organizing with communities from the Lenape diaspora to build pathways for Lenapeyok return. We have been taught to name Lenape Nations and say cama’i to our relatives from Delaware Tribe of Indians in Bartlesville, OK; Delaware Nation of Oklahoma in Anadarko, OK; Stockbridge-Munsee and Mohican Community in Wisconsin; Moravian Delaware of the Thames in Ontario, Canada; Munsee-Delaware Nation at Munceytown in Ontario, Canada; Delaware of Six Nations in Ontario, Canada. 

We strive to be in good relations with our kin—human and more than human—and in effort to support growing kinstillatory relations and sovereign, liberated futures we are anti-colonial and abolitionist in all capacities. We are committed to on-the-ground water and land protection, consistent decolonization work, and Land Back. 

Quyanaqvaa-lli elpeni to all Sovereign Nations, Indigenous and First Nations people who live in relation to and from Lenapehoking and upon whose lands we work and tour.
