'Both sides of the street' group exhibition blak dot and counihan galleries Brunswick Victoria Australia October 2016. Both Sides of the Street', a contemporary art exhibition at the Counihan Gallery in Brunswick, Melbourne, sought to capture dialogue between artists from Indigenous backgrounds. Each work is by an Australian-Indigenous artist and an artist from another culture. The exhibition fostered connectedness between the artists in the spirit of spiritual, personal and cultural exchange. 'Sistas united in sorrow was a reflection on the loss of loved ones and some of the objects associated with them. the installation included an Australian Indigenous kopi mourning cap that Maree shared the making of with myself and my sistas as part of the project. This was an intense and truly rewarding experience.
