In ām / ammā / mā maram, Meanjin (Brisbane)-based artist Sancintya Mohini Simpson continues research into her matrilineal heritage, making visible the histories of indentured Indian women that remain marginal or erased in colonial archives.

A first-generation Australian and descendent of labourers from Madras (now Chennai), India, sent to work on sugar plantations in the British colony of Natal, South Africa (now KwaZulu-Natal), Simpson's exhibition traces her family's journey through the use of materials common to these places and histories - such as sugarcane and mango.

Through a combination of paintings, sculpture, poetry and scent, Simpson's speculative archive speaks to the complexities of intergenerational trauma, memory, migration and healing. With a practice spanning painting, moving image, installation, poetry and performance, this is Simpson's first exhibition in Western Australia.
