Secure your #ResBazQLD 2026 spot to catch close to 50 workshops, and keynotes like Celise Gibson's:
"Sovereignty as practice: Rethinking research from Indigenous standpoints"
Celise is a proud Wadjigan woman (Batjamalh language group), artist and researcher. Her practice brings together cultural heritage, archives and storytelling to trace connections between memory, materiality and Indigenous knowledge systems.
Her keynote address will explore Indigenous sovereignty as enacted through everyday research practice. Drawing on Indigenist principles, it considers how methods, citation and scholarly practice can either reproduce colonial frameworks or uphold Indigenous authority, relational accountability and knowledge integrity.
