Blak Women's Healing is a whole-building takeover of Arts House, amplifying the voices and lived experiences of Aboriginal women and transforming the venue into a powerful space of resistance, healing, and cultural sovereignty.
Curated by Dr Paola Balla, Blak Women’s Healing explores the expressed and lived experiences of trauma, as well as self-determined desires for justice, peace and wellbeing for Aboriginal women, their children, families and communities.
Unfolding over 4 weeks across multiple spaces at Arts House, visitors will immerse in an exhibition of visual, oral, text-based and material culture made by Aboriginal women, together with an in-depth public program.
The centrepiece will be Balla’s 2021 work Murrup (ghost) Weaving in Rosie Kuka Lar (Grandmother’s Camp), a mixed-media installation and space hosting a suite of communal gatherings including yarning circles, artist talks, live-weaving, workshops and more.
Informed by ongoing community research, healing arts practices and cultural collaboration, Blak Women’s Healing platforms ongoing injustices alongside a space of unconditional Blak love, softness and respite.
