title = "Longing and belonging in the green worlds of Jeannie Baker",
abstract = "Jeannie Baker uses mixed materials, including real plants, to illustrate relationships between nature, humans and suburban and urban development in her textless collage picturebooks Window (1991) and Belonging (2004). These popular texts are read and studied in the classroom to raise environmental awareness and explore themes of sustainable development and community action. How can a reading of these two books through the lens of Indigenous writer and academic Ambelin Kwaymullina{\textquoteright}s verse manifesto, Living on Stolen Land, reveal and disturb the mechanisms of settler-colonialism as they appear in Baker{\textquoteright}s work? Placing these texts in juxtaposition with each other generates new understandings and new narrative possibilities.",
