KADABAL BANGKARR, translating to broken body, expands Kuku Yalanji and Hungarian artist Tiarna Herczeg’s painting practice to encompass installation, sound and sculptural elements; exploring the ongoing detriments of colonialism to their culture and Country.

Herczeg uses their practice as a ritual for connecting to Country, and their approach to painting comes from a sense of urgency regarding spiritual and cultural identity, often understood through Indigenous, non-western maps. The maps depicted in their work follow paths, songlines and significant places in their Country.
