Housing is a hot mess in many remote Aboriginal communities, including Tennant Creek, and the rollercoaster of government policies and interventions hasn't helped the situation.
What's on offer is often culturally unsafe, crowded, and a climate disaster.
But housing is hard to fix too.
This group of Traditional Owners, health professionals, architects and others have a vision for how.
This recording was an extract of a longer event organised by the Wilya Janta Housing Collaboration and held at the National Gallery of Victoria in October 2023.
