Join Dr. Tracey Benson and Dr. Liz Sweigart as they reflect on their serendipitous meeting at a conference in Brisbane — where being a little lost led to finding an unexpected and enduring connection.
In this episode, Tracey and Liz explore the richness of perception, memory, and what it means to co-create meaning over time. Tracey opens up about the values that guide her beyond the professional bio: a deep commitment to community, environmental stewardship, and respectful partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and culture.
They also dive into Tracey’s latest creative project, Baggage — a playful, layered exploration of identity, consumption, and the emotional weight we carry (often in secondhand handbags).
This conversation is a celebration of friendship, curiosity, and creative courage. It’s about leadership without pretense, and the joy of saying yes to wacky, beautiful ideas.
If Baggage sparked something in you, Tracey would love to hear your story.
You’re invited to contribute:
- In person: Drop by the Treecreate studio on Bribie Island and share your story (or your actual bag).
- From afar: Send a photo of a bag and a short personal reflection to Tracey via email at baggage.story@gmail.com.
Every contribution becomes part of an evolving installation about identity, memory, and what we carry—by choice or by habit.
