A new magazine for migration has just launched, featuring literature... and art from the refugee community in Indonesia. You can read the archipelago at https://thearchipelago.org/ and please follow them on Facebook and Instagram. @KierenKresevic @Harvard
the archipelago is a writers collective of refugee and migrant-background writers. Refugees writing and artworks are a part of unofficial and forgotten history like all of the minorities and the groups who are under oppression. We need alternative sources.
the archipelago is looking for writing mentors and artistic collaborators to work with refugee writers and artists.

This is a statement written by Thomas Mayor, the Torres Strait Islan...der activist and writer, who is fighting for a united political voice for all Indigenous people of Australia. This is part of the campaign of the Uluru Statement.
In 2017, after 13 regional dialogues and a culminating constitutional convention in the Heart of the country at Uluru, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from all parts of the southern sky endorsed the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
The Uluru Statement uses the lessons of the past — the heartbreak, the broken promises, the tactics of division and disempowerment perpetrated against us — and proposes the first steps toward waking Australia from the colonial nightmare we are trapped in.
The Uluru Statement is a national consensus position, calling for a constitutionally enshrined First Nations Voice — Voice, meaning representative body. Constitutionally enshrined, so that it cannot be removed by a hostile government, as all previous representative bodies have. The Voice is envisioned as a representative body that can be unapologetic and constitutionally empowered in its advocacy — leaders chosen by our people, and accountable to our people.
The statement also calls for a Makarrata Commission to supervise Treaty Making and Truth telling to the nation. While Treaty making is underway in some states and the Northern Territory, and truth-telling has been ongoing for decades, both the Commission and the Voice will see to it that treaties will be meaningful, and truth-telling useful.
