Where I Belong
Where I Belong inspires listeners to explore Brisbane through a patchwork of diverse stories, cultures, and perspectives. Each episode tells a story about a remarkable individual whose life and work is shaped by our city. Featuring writers, artists, performers and public figures, the podcast shares previously unheard stories about Brisbane and its people; who find purpose, make unexpected changes and celebrate the place – the landscape and its communities – where they belong. Their narratives traverse Brisbane’s broad reach – along the river, over the hills and out to the islands, offering new insights into shared experiences of this place. Where I Belong is proudly presented by Museum of Brisbane. Where I Belong starts on Thursday 8 July, with two episodes in your feed every fortnight. Where I Belong is written and produced on Turrabul and Yaggera land by Wendy Love. Museum of Brisbane acknowledges the Traditional Owners of this land and pays its respect to Elders past, present and emerging.

Do you know the history of the land you walk, of who called this home before you?
One of the most celebrated artists of her generation, Waanyi woman Judy Watson has spent her long and illustrious career unearthing all she can about her ancestral Country and culture and encouraging others to do the same. In this episode, sat barefoot atop a canvas in her large leaky Yeronga studio, Judy shares tales about a trip to Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) with her family in 1990. It was a trip that changed her, setting her on a path to discover as much as she could about her Aboriginal past and lay bare the shared histories that have led to where we are now.
