Motherhood in the Colony Screening
Event description
In a world shaped by violence and erasure, Motherhood in the Colony brings eight First Nations and Palestinian women together. Through intimate storytelling, the film unravels stories of colonial trauma, and mothering as an act of resistance, while inviting audiences to listen, learn, and envision a future beyond the oppressive structures of colonisation.
With Common Ground’s support, celebrated Worimi filmmaker Genevieve Grieves and renowned Palestinian artist, Aseel Tayah, explore the connections and shared struggles of Indigenous women through the lens of motherhood, which emerges as a transmission of wisdoms across generations, a promise of a culture’s survival and of its flourishing.
The Multicultural Women's Network invites you to a screening of the film, and extends an offering of shared stories, of listening and learning, and of gathering to envision a liberated future beyond the oppressive structures of colonisation.
Light snacks along with tea/coffee will be provided.
