We Create Safe Spaces Report 2025

The ‘We Create Safe Spaces’ report has been researched and co-written by Jasmin Sheppard (Tagalaka, Critical Path’s First Nations artist-curator), and Joshua Staines (Wiradjuri), with artwork by Shana O’Brien (ties to Darkinjung and Dharug).

This report began at a gathering at the Drill Hall, Critical Path, on the 2nd of April, 2023. Ten First Nations contemporary dance artists based in Sydney began the conversation, highlighting how many of our community and our peers have had to battle the system, struggle through unhealthy ways of working, revealing the lack of scaffolding within arts organisations to support the unique way we work and inhabit spaces. Throughout the following two years, nineteen NSW-based or connected First Nations dance artists have been consulted through online and in-person discussions.

This project is supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW.
