Biennale of Sydney
We are giants of our histories  We are giants of the landscape  We are held, we are in the holding of the earth, fallen bodies, in the possessive gaze of the state and its structures of consciousness. Locked in the violent arithmetic of genocide.   In the Hold responds to radioactive ideas of deep colonialism. This performative work explores the quietness of sovereignty, through activism, spoken word, music and installation projection.  Presented by the Powerhouse Museum.

At times like these, it is more important than ever that we find ways to connect, to help each other, listen, collaborate and heal – all core themes of NIRIN.
