Overview

Artist Hannah Brontë presents a bold new vision of Australia in this politically-charged feminist music video for Next Wave 2016. Through the language and aesthetics of hip hop, Still I Rise portrays a government with an Indigenous female Prime Minister, fluent in her people's traditional language, leading a parliament made up of women of all different ethnicities, ages and backgrounds. Crazy, huh?

The video will be visible at Blak Dot Gallery in Brunswick East Wednesdays through Sundays, and is one of a number of works on the Next Wave program exploring Indigenous issues in contemporary Australia. Brontë will also curate a night of female MCs and DJs at Howler on Sunday, May 15 as part of the festival.
