POWA WAVE

For Pride Month, the Art Gallery of Ballarat presents the work of Hannah Brontë on Art Screen. Brontë is a Wakka Wakka and Yaegel artist who creates video, textiles, fibre arts and text-based works about women’s empowerment and protest. Shot on the beaches of Kombumerri/Yugambeh country, Coolangatta, POWA WAVE captures the natural beauty of an ocean sunrise as experienced by two Queer lovers. For the artist, ‘being a woman in the surf, let alone a Queer woman, takes a sport so freeing and transcendent and makes it a radical act of defiance.’
