“…But not only that, I guess, having a really strong family base and that respect, not only from the mobs out there, but just so long as I've got the support of my family, I think what I'm doing is the right thing. I think I do it in a really respectful way, and nobody's ever, ever questioned me about what I'm doing (Clarke ).…”

In this article, four women engage, talk, and write about Indigenous sovereignty in Australia's southeast-the region of Australia most devastated by colonial incursion and the site of vibrant cultural activism in the present day. We are two non-Indigenous academics (Sabra Thorner and Fran Edmonds) working together with two Indigenous artist-curators (Maree Clarke and Paola Balla) in a process of collaborative, intercultural culture-making. We mobilise two ethnographic examples-Maree Clarke's backyard and the 2016-2017 Sovereignty exhibition at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art-to assert that decolonising is an ongoing process which requires that non-Indigenous peoples acknowledge their own privilege, learn Aboriginal histories, imagine both difference and coexistence; and that the goals of decolonisation are as diverse as the activists calling for it. In both contexts, art/culture-making, alongside storytelling, are crucial forms of Indigenous knowledge production, led by Aboriginal women via their engagements with the artworld(s) in Melbourne and beyond.
