Led by emerging Kaurna Leader Bonny Brodie with guidance from Aunty Margaret Brodie, this intergenerational project aims to open new understandings of Kaurna history, stories, and culture connected to Yartapuulti-Port Adelaide through focused activity, discussion, and knowledge sharing of cultural practices from a range of First Nations female leaders, whilst learning new skills in distilling scent from native plants. The result is a place-responsive artwork as a powerful interruption of colonial narrative and complacency, and ensuring songlines and cultural practices are taught and shared for future generations.
