she lingers in archives / her trace is my memory / we labour dig sweat / blister imagine / know them more intimately / so much work to be done / so much work / to clean up this colonial mess.

Apron-Sorrow / Sovereign-Tea evokes an embodied reckoning with Aboriginal women's domestic labour and servitude drawing from oral history and the State's official record. It explores the complexity of Aboriginal women's experiences and survival strategies, and intergenerational stories that span loss, love, sorrow, solidarity, resistance, and refusal.
