The Lock-Up pays respect to the Awabakal and Worimi people, the traditional custodians of Muloobinba, the land on which we operate.
We respectfully acknowledge and celebrate the continuing culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and extend this respect to all First Nations Peoples across the world.

“I’m not a politician; I’m an artist, a storyteller. With my art, I talk about my personal experiences, Australia’s history and current ways of being. I don’t set out to make political statements. I am political simply because I am who I am – a queer mother, a cross-culture Blak Fella and a willing warrior for truthful story telling.” – Karla Dickens
