Dr Irene Watson (Tanganekald, Meintangk, Bunganditj and Potaruwutj) sits down with Dr Vernon Ah Kee (Kuku Yalandji, Waanji, Gugu Yimithirr and Koko Berrin) for a yarn, six years after the pair first worked together on Vernon’s commission to create an ephemeral site-specific artwork of Kaurna language words on the grounds of UniSA, City West campus. Recently refreshed, the artwork embeds Kaurna concepts, extending Vernon’s long-standing commitment to art activism and a language-based practice.
The pair talk candidly and with a great sense of mutual respect about reciprocity, justice, and the importance of speaking truth as two First Nations people contending with a settler culture that only wants to hear ‘happy’ stories.
