The Hindmarsh Island bridge dispute told by the Ngarrindjeri women who lived it.
For much of the 1990s, a group of Ngarrindjeri women protested the building of a bridge from Goolwa to Hindmarsh Island, claiming the island held sacred significance to them.
For years, they were subjected to intense scrutiny from the media, from politicians and even through a Royal Commission, with their voices challenged, dismissed and questioned.
Kumarangk, a new major project from Country Arts SA, tells the story of the Hindmarsh Island bridge controversy from the women who were there, giving them a voice to share the story from their perspective, together, for the very first time.
Kumarangk starts with a visual arts exhibition at @AdelaideContemporary Experimental (ACE) Gallery on Kaurna Land opening on February 22, followed by a documentary later this year, then a performance in Goolwa in 2027.
Aboriginal Way spoke with Dominic Guerrera, Country Arts SA’s Ngarrindjeri/Kaurna creative/curator, who came up with the idea.
