Kuña/Womxn

​Kuña/kuñatai/kuñakarai is the Tupi-Guarani word for woman/womxn/young woman/senior woman. I often find myself reflecting on the various roles womxn embody within family and the community as carers, nurturers, defenders, advocates and role-models. This exhibition reflects on the feminine, which does not necessarily mean female as we all carry both divine feminine and masculine qualities. I am interested in how the feminine holds both fierceness and softness, vulnerability and strength, representing infinite rebirth and sure endings. What does tending to the feminine within look and feel like? How do we bring balance within and without?

The exhibition ran from 13 March to 24 April 2021 at Bankstown Arts Centre.

As part of the exhibition I facilitated the workshop "Mother Mind" with works made by participants included in the community wall as part of the exhibition. You can listen to the artist talk for the exhibition here
