WHAT DO WE WANT!

What do we want?

LAND RIGHTS!

This powerful call to action has echoed through generations of my family as we continue the fight for justice. Our Land our Country was stolen from us. Everything we needed to survive and thrive was taken. As caretakers of the land, we lived and breathed its essence; it was an inseparable part of who we are.

These woven brooches pay homage to the protest pins worn by staunch supporters of the land rights movement. The Ngarrindjeri weaving acknowledges the generational knowledge and resilience passed down, ensuring the fight continues. They embody the strength of our ancestors and the responsibility of the next generation to keep fighting.

Our land remains occupied by the colony, but our voices remain unwavering.
