Shaieisha and Misteria Towler: Belonging

Performance

21 September 2023

‘Contemplating their place on land that was once ours, but now seems so foreign.’

Through spoken word and movement, two sisters express their journey from feeling dispossessed in colonised spaces, to achieving a sense of belonging.
