Mandy Quadrio is a Trawlwoolway woman, connected to her ancestral Country of Tebrakunna, north-east Lutruwita/Tasmania, and the Laremairremener Country of Little Swanport, Oyster Bay Nation of eastern Lutruwita. She is also of European heritage. Her exhibition’s title, Kukunna Murraweena, translates as ‘holding the weight of silence’. Featuring womblike, steel-wool sculptures and Quadrio’s first moving-image work, we are presented with an exhibition that communes with the past, despite colonialist attempts to scrub her and her people away.
