Join us for opening night of our 2022 Sharehouse Resident Curator, Asha Southcombe’s, final exhibition: Jayda Wilson | wangga/wanggaga
In English, Wangga (Gugada) and Wanggaga (Wirangu) translate to: language, to speak or to send a message. Bringing these words that translate the same in English together, deepens the understanding of the richness and relevance of language embedded in country. Although Gugada and Wirangu are neighboring countries on the Far West Coast of South Australia, the language differs.
Through mediums of installation, print and sound, the work in this exhibition documents Jayda’s journey of reclaiming language as a Gugada and Wirangu woman. By exploring the differences and connections between linguistics and identity, their work highlights individuality within Aboriginality, and the influence of an imposed colonial language on the process of learning their mother tongue.
