Lisa Khan

A proud Yankunytjatara/Antakirinja-Mutuntjara woman, Khan is committed to preserving her culture and history. In the artist’s own words:

'I delve into the emotions associated with the disappearance of women's sacred spaces and rights. The health and spirituality of Aboriginal women are deeply intertwined with the land, our ancestral home. I examine the silencing and erasure of women's narratives within my own culture, as well as the broader treatment of women across various societies. The inspiration for this artwork comes from my grandmother, a survivor of nuclear bomb testing, whose voice was silenced, and all First Nations women, who carry so much to keep our culture alive. I am determined to ensure that it is never forgotten.'
