S2 Episode 1 (Part B): Lightening the Load: Learning from People Seeking Asylum
Disclaimer: This episode discusses difficult topics related to racism, suicide, themes of displacement, and domestic and family violence. Listener discretion is advised.
Crew members Ruth and Jean unpack the previous episode whereby Laila and Deepa explore the challenges and creative practices used when working with people seeking asylum. They discuss the impacts of dominant social forces, such as neoliberalism and nationalism, the impact of the media, and the expectations linked to gratefulness discourses which are often experienced by people seeking asylum in Australia. Ruth adopts a feminist lens when deconstructing the part A episode. Ruth also speaks from her experience as a black woman migrating to Australia. Highlighted were the benefits of community, connection, creative advocacy, dialogue, and valuing diversity.
