Grounded focuses on cultural practices that have been passed down through generations of family members to the artists – Glennys Briggs, Glenda Nicholls, and Dr Treahna Hamm.
For each of the artists the works and the heritage they invoke demonstrate the knowledge, kinship, connection, comfort, and care that their ancestors experienced within family and nation prior to 1788. In entwining ancestral knowledge in their contemporary creative practices, the artists keep this knowledge alive, a practice that has kept them grounded and connected throughout their lives.
This project was made possible by the Australian Government Regional Arts Fund, which supports the arts in regional and remote Australia.
