Description
Mate, you're standing on stolen land.
Returning is a stunning work—a poetic and visual feast that takes you on Kirli's journey of rediscovering self, Country, and Connection. Kirli's heartfelt experiences address large contemporary themes of decolonisation, self-determination, identity, First Nations matriarchy, queerness, justice, love, liberation, and truth-telling. The backdrop to Returning is a time of huge upheaval with natural disasters, COVID, and the Black Lives Matter Movement.
Each poem is accompanied by evocative and poignant artwork that was created in response to its poem and vitalises its meaning. The artworks, visual poems, were originally shown at SHAC Gallery, Gundungurra land, in 2021 in the exhibition named Returning. Kirli's multi-disciplinary artworks span across a range of mediums and displays, including but not limited to watercolour, ink on hand-dyed silk, synthesising digital imagery with text, and installations of hand-crafted possum skin cloaks and weavings.
Returning was developed with consultation and guidance from First Nations Elders, Custodians, academics, and artists.
