MTalks—BLAKitecture: Pulse Check

The years continue on, but has the conversation? This yarn between Maori and Aboriginal Australian built environment practitioners reflects on how—or if—the 'Indigenous Architecture' conversation has changed in recent years, and considers what conversations need to happen now, and in the future. MPavilion’s fourth annual BLAKitecture forum brings together Indigenous built environment practitioners on the Yaluk-ut Weelam land of the Boon Wurrung people. The forum aims to centralise Indigenous voices in conversations about architecture, the representation of histories, the present state and the future of our built environments. BLAKitecture 2020/21 was curated by MPavilion’s program consultant Sarah Lynn Rees.
