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.
