Kumarangk is an intergenerational love letter for Ngarrindjeri women - an exhibition that explores the resistance to colonial destruction and the survival of culture.
The Kumarangk exhibition is headlined by a commission for artist and activist Sandra Saunders. Through a series of paintings and wireworks, Saunders retells the story and tribulations of the building of the bridge to Kumarangk – colonially known as Hindmarsh Island.
The exhibition features major new works by prominent Ngarrindjeri weavers Aunty Betty Sumner; Aunty Ellen Trevorrow, working with the multidisciplinary art collective Mardawi (Elizabeth Rankine, Margi Sumner, Temeika Campbell, Bessie Rigney, Zemiah Campbell, Debra Rankine and Stephanie Russell); Sonya Rankine; Carly Tarkari Dodd; and early career ceramicist Tiarnie Edwards.
