People over politics. Qld government’s insistence on continuing to hold polling today is an incredibly irresponsible example of political self importance over the safety of people. I honestly expected better. #peopleoverpoliticsqld I won’t be voting and it’s not because I haven’t tried to pre-poll, in the current situation all these options are also overwhelmed and most not working. This will be the first time in my voting life that I haven’t. There’s a part of me that feels quite ashamed and maybe that I’m overreacting. But I also know that generally when I feel those feelings it’s because I’m being ask to do something that uses fear and bullying as a premise for inclusion. Voting today sends the community very mixed messages, ‘stay home, unless it’s necessary’, ‘The voting booths will just be like the supermarkets.’ Except there’s still about 2 million* people in qld who need to vote. And there’s much fewer booths than supermarkets, and everyone will be at the ‘supermarkets’ on the same day. So these will be very very very busy supermarkets. It’s total political selfishness over the health of the community. It also sends a message to the community that current health warnings are not to be taken seriously. It’s incredibly irresponsible, but also somewhat fascist in its disregard for the people and the community. #stayhome #qldvotes * rough estimates. According to reported postal votes, pre polls, and the number enrolled to vote. (Image source abc)

Although The Women’s Library is closed for the time being we’ll be here on Instagram bringing you the work of the incredible Women artists who are a part of Herland II - Our Land.
This is Karla Pringle karlapringle , an artist who lives and works on Kabi Kabi land. She investigates and documents her body’s complex history and relationship with her environment. Her practice is heavily influenced by, and often refers to, the history of women’s body politics; mental health, domestic crafts, home-remedies and spiritualism, functioning as sites of slippage, subversion and rebellion. www.karlapringle.com *Bracken holding Drynaria, 2019

I’m quite obsessed with doing these, they’ve become like little maps of adventures and plants I’ve stumbled across or that have been blown down and I stop and collect on the roadside. As I arrange them and wrap and steep them, like performing some sort of funerary rights, they leave the most incredible form. The flesh and bones of plants and the spectral outlines they leave behind. 💚💚💚

I’m surrounded by the arms of the #Maroochy river who in #KabiKabi story is seeking the arms of her lost love. The reflection of the river’s edges within itself rouse a sense of being held within me. I am very grateful to see this river every day. 💚#alwayswasalwayswillbeaboriginalland
