Themes of gendered violence.
I am fed up. Mulling over an email reply from a federal Member of Parliament in 2019 in response to a gendered violence rally I was organising, I have sought to finally reply. Working through a counter-archival practice, I compile real and imagined experiences to document events and experiences of those affected by patriarchy that have historically been erased from archives. My goal is to explore the ways in which survivors are able to tell their stories and be heard when systems of power are not built for them be heard.
I am based on stolen Wurundjeri land and was raised on stolen Gadigal land. Emancipation from systematic oppression would not be possible without the fight for Indigenous sovereignty.
