Description

In this two part episode we’re exploring Indigenous connection to place. 

How can we interpret and give life to Indigenous significance, culture and stories in our design for places and infrastructure? 

How does this help us create better places for everyone, and how does this help us achieve our sustainability goals?

Special guests: 

• Ailsa Walsh, a proud indigenous woman of the Yuggera, Lardil, and Kullili Countries.  Ailsa is an incredible aboriginal artist who helped us bring our new Brisbane office to life with her paintings. 
• Michael Hromek, Technical Executive in WSP's Indigenous Specialist Services team.  Michael is also a researcher and Professional Tutor at the University of Technology, Sydney’s Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research.
• Ben Gibbs, an associate in our Sustainability team whose work helps many different organisations to achieve their sustainability goals.
