Season 2: Victor Steffensen

Victor Steffensen is an Tagalaka writer, filmmaker, musician and consultant applying traditional knowledge values in a contemporary context, through workshops and artistic projects. In the wake of 2020's devastating bushfires, Victor released his book Fire Country, a powerful account on how the revival of cultural burning practices, and improved 'reading' of country, could help to restore our land. He is the co-founder of the National Indigenous Fire Workshops, through which he shares his knowledge of traditional burning practices throughout Australia. Victor has also connected with First Nations communities in California, Canada, and the Sámi people of Scandinavia, sharing cultural knowledge practices related to caring for country.
