Jamie Graham-Blair - performer

Jamie Graham-Blair (aka Jam) is a muttonbirder, writer, photographer, conservation ecologist,
tour guide, a ceremony holder, educator, activist and dancer. A loud, proud and very active
trawlwoolway and plengarmairenner pakana with ancestral connections to the Northeast of
lutruwita as well as the tayaritja, Jam has dedicated many years of life to healthy country, as well ascommunity, and culture.
Nearing the end of his Bachelor of Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania his growing understanding of climate science, environment and the relationship between land, sea and sky has been driven by a deep innate need to protect and heal his ancestral island and coastlands in the wake of devastating colonialism.
Bringing both pakana tunapri and western understanding of ecology, seasons, movement and
communication, he hopes to use both these systems of thought to share stories of resilience and healing in the goal of a healthier and more deeply understood island for all those who live here.
