This sonic-visual work by Anaiwan and Gumbayngirr artist Gabi Briggs builds on her 2024 film ARKAN & IRBELA. Preparing for a walk on Country, Briggs layers field recordings of ancestral land with dialogues where voices surface and recede. Textures of Anaiwan Country and language renewal unsettle colonial assumptions of Indigeneity, their echoes threaded with violent geographies and resonant absence. A singular figure anchors the work, inviting audiences to grapple with what “Us” means when survival demands solidarity and sovereignty. TENYA maps continuity through returns to place, practice, and the unspoken. Commissioned by Liquid Architecture x The Substation and presented by YIRRAMBOI.

There will be an artist talk by Gabi Briggs 3-6pm,Sat 3 May as part of the Poly-rhythmic discussion series to purchase tickets please follow the link above.
