Yabini Kickett is currently working with the community of East Fremantle. This residency forms part of one of Spaced’s current programs, Know Thy Neighbour #3.
Yabini Kickett (Esther McDowell) is a descendant of the Kickett and Hayden families of the Bibulmun/Noongar Nation. Her work deals with textiles and found objects, often with a focus on place and the solastalgia associated with the destruction of Country.
The Town of East Fremantle is pleased to be partnering with Spaced as a community host for their current Know Thy Neighbour #3 program. In this project, which brings together six disparate metro districts, Yabini Kickett will be entwining birthing stories from her perspective as a Noongar Yok with the lived experiences of people who were born, gave birth, or have worked in a midwifery context in the East Fremantle locale. We are inviting people to participate through a voice recorded interview, which will be featured as part of a public installation later this year.
To participate, please contact Yabini: yabinikickett@gmail.com
