Birth, in all its forms, is a continuation of a legacy; a narrative about what once was, and glimpse at what could be to come. In a post-settler context of built developments, birth provides an avenue to interrogate our relationship with the changing environment around us. A Child Was Born Here pulls into focus the specific lived experiences in East Fremantle, and how its stories surrounding birth have contributed to the cultural memory of place.

Yabini Kickett through the Know Thy Neighbour #3 program is seeking the lived experiences of people who were born, gave birth, or have worked in a midwifery context in the East Fremantle locale.

Through Spaced’s Know Thy Neighbour #3 program, Yabini Kickett works with the community of East Fremantle.

Here, Yabini shares an update.

Over the next weeks, we’ll be introducing our Know Thy Neighbour #3 artists, along with their community partners.

Here, we introduce Yabini Kickett who will be working with the Town of East Fremantle.
