This episode of Listening to Canberra Voices contains descriptions of conflict and the impact of trauma on children, listener discretion is advised. In 1991, Antonia became a refugee when Dubrovnik was besieged due to ongoing fighting in the Croatian War of Independence. She was 11 years old. Because of her experience, in Croatia, the natural world felt dangerous and hostile. Living in Canberra presented Antonia with the opportunity to spend time in nature, up on Mt Majura. What followed was a catharsis, a journey of reconnection and healing.
Bio: Antonia is a Croatian-Australian woman, living in Canberra. She was born in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Antonia moved to Australia in 2014, with daughters Mara and Rossa, and husband Saša. Antonia and her family have become integral parts of the inner north community. They cultivated a wonderful veggie garden and set up an honesty box in their front yard for neighbours to buy produce. They ran Canberra Magic Kitchen, selling nutritious vegan meals. While Antonia has moved on to other projects, she is still an active participant in her community and loves living in the bush capital.
