This article by me and Dr Shaphan Cox has been published in From the European South Issue 10 2022, pages 41-55. The article asserts that the process of public conversation around the renaming of Fremantle’s civic centre can be understood as toponymic workspace for opening up a politics of place-naming and a method for assessing and improving procedural justice. Such forms of public consultation can be applied by local governments and communities seeking ethical representation in and of public places, and they can be made effective through substantial inclusion of Indigenous visual culture, language and stories within the toponymic workspace.
