'The story of co-curating Blak to the Future is and Saturday nights and Saturdays getting to know amazing people, it is the artists themselves as they are, and the stories they tell through the works they create, it is three hundred people crammed into a small gallery, and it is about how the black community comes through for its own. These are important to me, and I refuse to make these things available for your consumption.' (Publication abstract)

y The Lifted Brow no. 40 December 2018 15394714 2018 periodical issue Abstract
'We acknowledge and pay our respect to all the Grandmothers, Mothers, Aunties, Sistas, and Sistergirls, Cuzzies and Tiddas gone before us, those lost too young, and those to come. We love you, your strength, knowledge, humility, grief and anger. Youse are all Most Deadly!

'Shout out to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander writers and editors who have worked with The Lifted Brow before this, and who held the door open for this edition.

'Running the editorial as a collective for this issue of The Lifted Brow was important for many reasons. Too often as Blakfellas we are expected to work as lone rangers in white corporations and institutions, as the keepers of all knowledge, the go to on every ‘Aboriginal issue’, and the incompetent to lay blame with when things don’t go well. It is expected that we are happy to fit into the individualistic mindset of western capitalism, because you want that job, right? To keep a roof over you and your family’s head, right? To be all white, white?' (Editorial introduction)
