Join Rachael for another episode of Let’s Talk – Black Arts with senior design lecturer at the Queensland College of Art, Dr. Rae Cooper. Rae’s research and teaching practice focuses on visual communication design, culture and politics. She has a strong background in the visualisation of complex data/concepts and strategic communication. Her paternal connections to Worimi/Warrimay First Nations Peoples and European Ancestors is a growing influence on her creative work, and shapes her deep commitment to understanding and applying cultural protocols, visualising decolonial ethics processes, and understanding the crucial relationships between art, music, culture and health for mob.

In another joyful conversation, Rachael & Rae talk about their experiences of drawing on design education principles in creating work that stands for something, fostering a new generation of First Nations designers ready to use their skills for the liberation of mob across the continent.
