Jamie Graham-Blair

Jamie Graham-Blair (also known as Jam) is a proud land and sea defender, of the trawlwoolway and plengermeirenner clans of North-Eastern lutruwita/Tasmania. Nearing the end of their Bachelor of Marine and Antarctic Science with the University of Tasmania’s Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies and a proud Muttonbirder and holder of many cultural knowledges, Jamie blends Western and Southern knowledge systems together to educate whoever will listen about the ecological and social benefits of assertion of Indigenous sovereignty and land and sea return. 

Jamie’s work, particularly in the movement for climate justice, has seen them take out the CSIRO Indigenous STEM award for 2019 and represent his people at many national and international knowledge and cultural gatherings. Their artistic work includes stunning and vibrant photography of lutruwita, videography, dance and regenerative art, where they continue to blend modern technology with ancient teachings.
