On June 14th we are hosting a screening of the film Motherhood in the Colony. We will be gathering from 3pm - 6pm for some beautiful Palestinian food made by local Mama Laura Grace, there will also be tea and cake. The screening will begin at 4pm.
There will be child minding for young children between 1yrs and 6 yrs by our incredible community mentor and space holder Jaye of Mindful Seeds.
This is a tender time to gather, listen and witness Palestinian and First Nations mothers.
Ticket cost goes directly to supporting Palestinian Mama Laura Grace who will be cooking on the day, we leave it up to Laura how she utilises any funds that are remaining after her reimbursement.
Tickets for First Nations and Palestinian attendees are FREE.
About the film:
In a world shaped by violence and erasure, Motherhood in the Colonybrings eight First Nations and Palestinian women together.
Through intimate storytelling, the film unravels stories of colonial trauma, and mothering as an act of resistance, while inviting audiences to listen, learn, and envision a future beyond the oppressive structures of colonisation.
Our Roots
Worimi filmmaker, Genevieve Grieves and Palestinian artist, Aseel Tayah, brought our Storytellers together in November 2023 to create Motherhood in the Colony.
Over the past few years, our community has grown, forming a bold coalition of mothers, artists, academics, filmmakers, writers, activists, humanitarians and allies spanning major cultural institutions and grassroots initiatives around the world.
Thanks to their generous advocacy and support, our kinship continues to grow globally, representing diverse geographies and communities.
Our Vision
Indigenous sovereignty is realised, embodied and enacted across the globe
Motherhood in the Colony is not just a film, it’s an offering of shared stories, of listening and learning, and of gathering to envision a liberated future beyond the oppressive structures of colonisation.
We work closely with our network to achieve our impact goals:
Amplify Indigenous voices
Challenge colonial narratives
Foster cross-cultural solidarity
Enable Indigenous sovereignty & self-determination
Drive engagement & action
