wirnda mara ganjarnmanha (RITUAL / GIFT) is a close-captioned listening and observation ritual developed by Nicole Monks and Make or Break for Runway Journal of Experimental Art (Issue #44 TIME, edited by Joel Spring). Over a period of weeks, Nicole, Bec and Connie exchanged ideas cross-Country between Wajarri, Burramattagal and Gadigal lands on the West and East coasts of so-called Australia.
In wirnda mara ganjarnmanha (Ritual / Gift), we collectively offer a distillation of the thinking, touching, listening and looking that we did together. What made us feel slowed, connected and held by place. We offer you this experience, in close-captioned Wajarri or English, to try for yourself wherever you are. Give as much or as little time to this as you wish.
