Listen "8 Black, White And Organic"
Episode Synopsis
John Thompson, descendant of convict and settler colonials and John Mogridge, a Bibbulman Boodja man call a series of meetings in Midland, Perth offering conversation to better understand local Aboriginal culture.I sit through a first meeting, cycling through emotions from delighted to enraged and finally, days later, after a bit of a think, get with the program, learning something about my pressing need to drop the ego in the face of an invitation to truly listen and trust .Then I head down south to do the volunteer thing on a few farms and manage to find intriguing synergies between the de-colonisation process and the situation of organic producers, both in contemporary and pre-industrial chemical farming days, and my own propensity for martyrdom.I find myself asking that vital question, not once, but twice: Are we there yet?
