Please join us to celebrate 
Uncle Brian Dodd McKinnon (1957–2023) 
I Used to Walk So Softly on this Land
Posthumous PhD Examination, School of Art 

I Used to Walk So Softly on this Land explores my holistic and interrelated approach to creative practice. Through my Indigenous standpoint, the creative practice research focuses on concepts like Blood Memory, ceremony and culture, contemporary and historical mark-making, and ‘not leaving traces’.

Uncle Brian Dodd McKinnon was an Amangu man of the Yamatji Nation and Noongar, born in Geraldton, Western Australia. Uncle Brian was the inaugural Vice Chancellor’s Pre-Doctoral Indigenous Research Fellow at RMIT University’s School of Art.
