In Conversation :: Marcus Ferguson with Jo Kijas by NRCG published on 2022-04-17T18:06:47Z Speaking with the River - Citizen Science workshop program with LabX and guest artists. This audio conversation was recorded as part of the Ebb and Flow: Conversations on the Lower Richmond River | Marcus Ferguson and Jo Kijas. Marcus Ferguson, Nyangbul artist and historian, has a special connection to the Duck Creek and Bingal Creek Mob of the Lower Richmond River. Residing along the Richmond River has given him a greater understanding and appreciation of the culturally active waters and landscapes throughout Ballina and the surrounding area, respecting the culturally appropriate ways of his ancestral guardians that still inhabit many of the region’s cultural waters and landscapes of today. Jo Kijas is a consultant historian and Adjunct Fellow at Southern Cross University. Her research and publications are focused in three areas: environmental, community and post-colonial history, specialising in oral history. Jo’s recent consultancies have centred around water, rivers, and wetlands. These include a history of the Tuckean Swamp and an oral history of fishers and oyster farmers in Wallis Lake. Genre Arts
