Join Jahkarli Romanis and artist Peta Clancy in conversation as they discuss the exhibition (Dis)connected to Country.
Jahkarli Romanis is a proud Pitta Pitta woman, an emerging artist, researcher and curator based on Kulin Land. After completing an Honours in Photography degree in 2020, she commenced a PhD at Monash University in 2021 through the Wominjeka Djeembana Research Lab. Her work is inextricably intertwined with her identity as a Pitta Pitta woman and explores the complexities of her lived experience and the continuing negative impacts of colonisation in what is now known as Australia.
Peta Clancy is a Bangerang artist living on Wurundjeri Country and a researcher in Wominjeka Djeembana Indigenous practice-based research Lab at MADA, Monash University. In 2023 Clancy was awarded an Australia Council for the Arts Fellowship. In 2018 Clancy was awarded the Koorie Heritage Trust Residency Grant to realise the photographic installation Undercurrent in collaboration with Dja Dja Wurrung Traditional Custodians Mick Bourke and Amos Atkinson exploring an underwater massacre site on Dja Dja Wurrung Country.
This event is being presented as part of NAIDOC Week, happening from 2 - 9 July 2023. The theme for the 2023 National NAIDOC Week is For Our Elders.
