Dark Mofo

Commissioned for Dark Park at Dark Mofo, This Bitter Earth was a nightly ritual of fire and smoke that mourned the loss of Country and culture through visceral performance. Developed and produced by Alex Podger and myself, I was dressed in cultural furs, and stood encircled by flames, chanting in Palawa Kani as the ground burned around me. Rooted in grief and resistance, the work reawakened the shoreline of Nipaluna/Hobart with ceremony, rage, and remembrance, holding space for what has been lost and what still remains.
