Stone is the stuff of buildings, borders and walls. And when those structures fall, their rubble and ruins are stone. Stone is the home of ancestors, the surface on which we walk. Stone is an embodiment of time, hard and rigid but when worn down, crumbly and soft.  Stone is heavy with history and knowledge and rich with the potential to create futures. Stone is the grounding theme of this episode.

Stone is one of three episodes, Stone, Sand and Salt which are bound together by the overarching theme of Ground. We hear from artist Megan Cope, a Quandamooka woman, delving into the histories behind her work ‘Re-Formation’, we are enveloped by a sound artwork Body Remembering – Grinding Stone by Yindjibarndi artist Katie West and an accompanying poem by Narrm based writer and educator Neika Lehman. Host Ayeesha Ash is joined by artist Alana Hunt to discuss her work ‘Faith in a Pile of Stones’ and is later joined by Alana’s partner Chris Griffiths, a Miriwoong man, to continue the conversation.
