Summary
The Cultural Competence Collective welcomes Marika Duczynski onto the podcast to discuss cultural competence, decolonial practices, and community-led curation. Marika is a Gamilaraay and Mandandanji writer and curator and is the Indigenous Heritage Curator at the University of Sydney’s Chau Chak Wing Museum. Our conversation with Marika covers a range of crucial topics, delving into what it means to do decolonial work within colonial institutions, the importance of Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP), culturally respectful care of collections, and what self-determination and the right of response looks like in action. Together, we discuss what cultural competence looks like in supporting truth-telling, repatriation and building collaborative relationships with First Nations communities.
