Wandaaba explores masculinity and femininity through Indigenous cultural contexts, using traditional and colonial perspectives and focus ‘spirits’. Wandaaba explores the sexualisation of Indigenous women and criminalisation of Indigenous men. The two outer panel figures, painted black, contrast markings and surroundings representing how colour has defined Indigenous people within ‘White Australia’. Binary opposites – male and female, colonial ideologies and Indigenous culture are significant within Wandaaba. Contemporary and traditional symbolism creates the sense that the old ways endure despite overshadowing by new ways. By presenting these struggles, Wandaaba unites the two groups. Despite violent oppression, Indigenous men and women maintain ancestral strength.
