RISING: Matha

  • Free
  • Art

Matha takes its name from the Yorta Yorta word for canoe, and a multipart project by Moorina Bonini about the regenerative flow of cultural knowledge and the deep interconnections between knowledge, Country, and cultural expression.

Through her conceptual film and song in Yorta Yorta language, Moorina shares the relational and deep connection she and her family have to river country on Yorta Yorta lands along the Dhungala (Murray) River and to the Birrarung River. This work shares how knowledge is held within Country and embodied through cultural practices—passed down, renewed, and regenerated over time.

In this work, Moorina collaborates with family and community, including Yorta Yorta/Wurundjeri filmmaker Tony Briggs and her family on the song with Jaadwa sound artist James Howard.

Part of RISING.
