Moordidjabininy (becoming strong) - Celebrating identity
Exhibition by SANDRA HILL celebrating coming home to Country

In 1990, Sandra began to research her culture and set out to find extended family members. This led her on a journey of discovery, both in relation to her Cultural Heritage and to her true identity. Her journey has been both painful and traumatic. It has been one of grief at what was lost to her for 27 years and one of joy for what was found, one of contempt and bitterness for those responsible and finally one of understanding, awareness, acceptance and forgiveness.

Sandra’s art is extremely personal to her as it has, throughout the difficult circumstances of her life, reflected her Aboriginality, spirituality and her personal identity. It is the one true and real thing that has remained constant throughout her life.
Her work tells and shares the stories of her experiences. To her it is a visual essay or historical reference to what she and her people have suffered and lost in the recent past however, more importantly, Sandra sees it as a celebration of survival, Cultural identity, revival and finally, as a triumph of the Indigenous spirit.
