Island Shrine
Shared stories and generational traumas
Walk across rings of ochre, burnt spears, charcoal and maireener shells, and take a seat. Island Shrine is a brooding video and sound installation inspired by tarenorerer (also known as walyer, c. 1800–1831), a Tasmanian Aboriginal warrior woman and tyrelore (island wife) who fought white colonists in Tasmania’s genocidal Black War.
