Know Thy Neighbour #3 call out: Yabini Kickett is looking for expressions of interest from East Fremantle locals
Yabini Kickett is currently working with the community of East Fremantle. This residency forms part of one of Spaced’s current programs, Know Thy Neighbour #3.
Yabini Kickett (Esther McDowell) is a descendant of the Kickett and Hayden families of the Bibulmun/Noongar Nation. Her work deals with textiles and found objects, often with a focus on place and the solastalgia associated with the destruction of Country.
The Town of East Fremantle is pleased to be partnering with Spaced as a community host for their current Know Thy Neighbour #3 program. In this project, which brings together six disparate metro districts, Yabini Kickett will be entwining birthing stories from her perspective as a Noongar Yok with the lived experiences of people who were born, gave birth, or have worked in a midwifery context in the East Fremantle locale. We are inviting people to participate through a voice recorded interview, which will be featured as part of a public installation later this year.
To participate, please contact Yabini: yabinikickett@gmail.com
