The writing process for Eating Ice Cream With Your Eyes Closed has taken place on Awabakal and Worimi Country. Public readings and development sessions have been held on Dja Dja Wurrung Country (Castlemaine). We recognise that these lands were never ceded. We acknowledge the continuing connection of First Nations peoples to land, story, and community.
