remembering
mist touching
city concrete
dharug ngurra s y d n e y
cool air
arriving on ngurra
brushing the hard skin
that has become ngurra city
city Country
she is possum
she is water
she is Country
balancing between bark
water and steel
between tree and glass
between design & Country
mist on the eel songline
merged into city road
Tin Sheds activism
steel stitched over deep time
concrete separates
but water remembers
do you remember
the water that held
your first water home?
watery mist arrives
in the spaces in between
where quiet softness
begins with belonging
recovering from pain
Takiwatanga1
in her own place
in her own space
in her own time
where place space time
Country and design meet belonging
Curated by
Ngurra (Country) hardy & kleijn
Participants: Cooee Mudjin Mittigar... Calling all family and friends to come together to share stories of place, space, time, and design across the Sydney basin, in unity, guided by Ngurra and custodians of place....

Tin Sheds Gallery acknowledges the Gadigal of the Eora Nation, upon whose ancestral lands our exhibitions take place. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, acknowledging them as the traditional custodians of knowledge of these lands, waterways and Country.
