Kumarangk: Exhibition is an intergeneration love letter for Ngarrindjeri women, an exhibition that explores the survival of culture and the resistance to the destructive forces of the colony.Kumarangk is an honouring of the resistance work of the Ngarrindjeri women protesters, who organised and acted against the building of the bridge from Goolwa to Hindmarsh Island. Over 10 years the women faced an onslaught of attacks from within the media and politics for speaking truth on culture and Country. This exhibition demonstrates the ongoing love, fight and cultural inheritance within Ngarrindjeri women’s circles.
Our thirteen artists include Sandra Saunders, Aunty Betty Sumner, Sonya Rankine, Carly Tarkari Dodd, Tiarnie Edwards, along with the Mardawi Collective made up of Aunty Ellen Trevorrow, Temeika Campbell, Zemiah Campbell, Debra Rankine, Elizabeth Rankine, Bessie Rigney, Stephanie Russell and Margi Sumner. Through artwork, our 13 artists embody the ongoing continued connection and responsibility, creating stories that are interconnected through familiar ties and multiple art disciplines including Ngarrindjeri weaving, large soft sculpture, painting, text-based work, installation and ceramics. Featuring a mix of traditional and contemporary art mediums, Kumarangk showcases existing alongside ambitious new works by multiple generations of Ngarrindjeri women artists.
Text by Aunty Katrina Powers and Aunty Eunice Aston will also feature in the front of house of the exhibition, which will be utilised to set tone and intention of the exhibition whilst paying respects to mother earth and our Blak Matriarchy.
Co-Curated by Dominic Guerrera (Ngarrindjeri, Kaurna) and Danni Zuvela, the exhibition showcases art works from an incredible line up of Ngarrindjeri women artist, providing platform for them to speak and be heard. Experience the love and passion for
