I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which I work, and live, the Boonwurung, and Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. I pay my respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging.

In the future, we will sit in.
We will sit inside the limousine
that becomes the sea.
The lip-shine requests:
“Let me get out of the bag, use me”.
Relics of resilience,
the objects refuse to rest.
Lip-shine, the ring, the henna designs,
The camel-milk bottle, the limousine.
Confidently they stroll.
Tashabok presents ficto-critical videos, inspired by collaborative drawing sessions, and conversations with artists and participants. The ongoing project since 2020 proposes a counter-geography of displaced objects and alternative mapping of migrant materials based on playful drawing, and storytelling. So far, the collaborative drawing sessions took place in Mbantua/ Alice Springs, O’ghe P’oghe/Santa Fe (U.S.A), and Narrm/Melbourne. Tashabok was partly funded by the 2022/23 Small Project Grants Program (City of Yarra).
