Wiradjuri AI with Joel Spring

Jazz Money is a Wiradjuri poet and artist, a fresh-water woman currently based on sovereign Gadigal land in Sydney, Australia. Her practice is centred around story and narrative while producing works that encompass installation, digital, film and print. Jazz’s writing has been widely performed and published nationally and internationally. Her David Unaipon Award-winning debut poetry collection ‘how to make a basket’ was published in 2021 by University of Queensland Press. Jazz was the 2022 recipient of the prestigious Dreaming Award from the Australia Council for the Arts for her work with poetry.

Working across different mediums, Jazz’s practice is centred around questions of narrative and story – place memory, First Nations memory, colonial memory and the stories that we tell to construct national and personal identity.
