Y Space acknowledge that our creative practice is built upon the unceded lands of Traditional Owners; the Jadawadjali, Wotjobaluk, Jaadwa, Wergaia and Jupagulk peoples. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. 


Through truth-telling, deep listening and respect, we hope that one day our work may find a small place in the vast continuum of the world’s oldest living culture and legitimately find a home within the country that inspires us.
