Filmmaker and acclaimed Wiradjuri artist and award-winning poet Jazz Money will be in conversation with Nathan Sentance after a screening of her film WINHANGANHA.
WINHANGANHA (Wiradjuri language: Remember, know, think) – is a lyrical journey of archival footage and sound, poetry and original composition. It is an examination of how archives and the legacies of collection affect First Nations people and wider Australia.
Commissioned by the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia, Jazz over a two-year period sifted through the Archive’s extensive collections of works made by and about First Nations Australians. She used footage, sound, poetry and original composition to take the viewer through five acts that attempts to acknowledge the horrors, joys and beauties held within the archive relating to Indigenous Australians' experiences.
This is a free event, and booking is essential.
Jazz Money is an Wiradjuri poet, artist and filmmaker, described by Vogue Australia as a “multidisciplinary force”. She is the author of two award-winning poetry collections how to make a basket (UQP, 2021) and mark the dawn (UQP, 2024). Jazz’s first feature film is WINHANGANHA (2023), commissioned by the National Film and Sound Archive.
