Indigenous artists from across the planet provide truth-telling about the past and inspiration to imagine better futures.
marramarra (a Wiradjuri word meaning to create, make or do) explores how contemporary Indigenous artists and their communities are revealing hidden histories and finding pathways to healing.
marramarra shares conversations with leading contemporary artists, including Tuppy Ngintja Goodwin (Pitjantjatjara, Arrernte, Australia), Judy Watson (Waanyi, Australia), Rebecca Belmore (Anishinaabe, Canada), Nicholas Galanin (Tlingit and Unangax, Alaska) and Pauliina Feodoroff (Skolt Smi, Finland). Indigenous Elders and knowledge holders also provide insights about important community projects, places of memory and history lessons about colonisation.
Led by Indigenous voices and presenting ground-breaking artworks from the Pacific, Turtle Island (North and Central America), Brazil, Finland, Taiwan, Afghanistan and beyond, marramarra provides new ways to think about the past and imagine a planet that is bright for Indigenous futures a place that is better for all.
