Reclamation | Jessika Spencer (Wiradjuri)

Overview

Reclamation is a multidisciplinary exhibition by Wiradjuri weaver Jessika Spencer. Grounded in cultural knowledge and material practice, this exhibition brings together traditional fibres and contemporary expression to honour memory, identity and the enduring relationship to Country.

Jessika Spencer is a Wiradjuri woman from the Sandhills of Narrungdera (Narrandera) in New South Wales. A First Nations weaver, writer and activist, she has lived on Ngunnawal/Ngambri Country for more than a decade.

Jessika's practice is grounded in natural materials carefully gathered from Country, holding to a strong emphasis on land management and cultural heritage. Working across photography, writing and both contemporary and traditional weaving, Jessika explores and expresses her cultural identity
