Dr Hope O’Chin | @hopeochin | is a Kabi Kabi/Wakka Wakka/Koa/GuguYalanji educator and artist, who has worked in education from the 1980’s and as a professional artist from 1991. She has developed and presented artworks through her studio art practice for over 40 exhibitions across local, national and international venues and forums. Born into the dormitory systems on the Aboriginal Settlement of Cherbourg, her dedication to education and art, and all of its forms, evolved out of the intensities of attitudes and values that prevailed in the historic treatment of Cherbourg residents, and other Indigenous Australians. During her career as a senior executive in Queensland education, Dr O'Chin has been responsible for curriculum, staffing and resourcing to 250 state schools in the Peninsular region, and was a consultant to the Director-General, Education Queensland, and Minister for Education.
Perrin Ellis | @perrin.ellis | is a senior lecturer in interactive media at the Queensland College of Art, Griffith University, where she is acting program director of the Master of Design program and convenor of the Interaction Design major. She is a narrative artist and interface designer; she has worked with libraries, museums and galleries on their collections and exhibitions, most recently the Museum of Brisbane and the State Library of Queensland, where she was the 2019 Mittelheuser scholar-in-residence. Her own projects have shown in galleries, streets, symposia and festivals throughout the U.S., Europe, and Australia.
