Pauline Vetuna is a Tolai or Indigenous Melanesian woman, artist and writer living and working upon the lands of the Wathaurung, Woiwurrung and Boonwurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation. She uses poetry and creative writing to transmute pain, confusion and the experiences of marginalisation into things of beauty and liberation. Her storytelling documents healing lessons that she learns through living and contemplation by speaking new realities into existence.
