Sancintya Mohini Simpson: ām / ammā / mā maram

February 24 - April 28

Courtesy: the artist and The Condensery, Toogoolawah.

In ām / ammā / mā maram, artist Sancintya Mohini Simpson researches her matrilineal heritage, making visible the histories of indentured Indian women that remain marginal or erased in colonial archives.

A first-generation Australian and descendant of labourers sent from the port of Madras (now Chennai), India, to work on sugar plantations in the British colony of Natal (now KwaZulu-Natal), South Africa between 1863 and 1911, Simpson’s exhibition traces her family’s journey through the use of materials common to these places and histories – such as sugarcane and mango.

Through a combination of paintings, sculpture, poetry and scent, Simpson’s speculative archive speaks to the complexities of intergenerational trauma, memory, migration and healing.

Opening Event: Saturday 24 February.
