From the epicentre of the Northern Rivers flood recovery, we are joined by Elly Bird and Katie Cooper-Wares. Both have been instrumental in the founding and development of the Resilient Lismore community recovery organisation, alongside other roles –Elly as a Councillor for Lismore City Council and Chair of Northern Rivers Arts and Katie as a dancer, artist, environmental educator and founder of the Creative First Aid Alliance group.
They discuss the need to reframe community preparedness; how the arts can support in reimagining the future after such an immense loss of safety and identity; and share on-ground learnings from living with the reality of compounding disasters in their community.
