Motherhood In The Colony
A love letter to mothers and the vital role they play in the resilience of Indigenous cultures.
In response to the escalation of violence against the Palestinian people in Gaza in late 2023, First Nations and Palestinian women gathered on Wurundjeri Country (Naarm/Melbourne) to share their stories of grief, survival, resistance and Motherhood in the Colony.
Worimi filmmaker Genevieve Grieves and cultural activist, Aseel Tayah (Jerusalem born, Qalansawa and Taybe, Palestine) bring Palestinian and First Nations women together to explore their connections and shared struggles.
