The Gladys Elphick Oration
About
Please join South Australian poet and Narungga woman, Associate Professor Natalie Harkin from Flinders University, as she delivers this year’s Gladys Elphick Oration: APRON-SORROW / SOVEREIGN-TEA: Aboriginal Domestic Service Stories in South Australia.Our Aboriginal women's domestic service stories are largely invisible and not widely acknowledged or understood as significant in official narratives of history in South Australia. This oration presents a creative-arts based research project on this labour history, including a collaborative exhibition presented for Tarnanthi in 2021, titled APRON-SORROW / SOVEREIGN-TEA. This is an intergenerational project of honouring Aboriginal women through state colonial archives and blood-memory stories that span loss, love, sorrow, solidarity, resistance, and pride.
Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that this event contains the names and images of people now passed and resting in the Dreaming.
