Title: Creative and critical reflections on rights centred community music engagement and research
by Naomi Sunderland, Brigitta Scarfe, Brydie-Leigh Bartleet

Abstract:
This arts-based research presentation shares musical and other stories from The Remedy Project: First Nations Music as a Determinant of Health. That project investigates, examines, and shares how First Nations music is both an intrinsic determinant of health and something that shapes other health determinants. The Remedy Project honours the role of musical engagement and participation as a natural “remedy” in cultural healing and ceremony that has happened over Millennia in First Nations communities. It reflects the resolute strength of First Nations music and musicians despite historical and ongoing colonisation. This presentation will creatively explore dynamics and affordances of community co-leadership in music activities and our research with diverse communities across Australia. We draw on key Australian Institute for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) Protocols and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as resources for creativity, research, and reflection in this session. The session will offer community musicians, facilitators, researchers, and others an opportunity to critically reflect on the richness of rights-centred community music research and engagement.
