EBONY JONIVUMA AYO RUSHIL PAVAN SEPSI MWABA PERUN TAJE SUKHJITJOEL

Ebony is a multidisciplinary artist. She has worked as a performer with theatre companies across Australia such as Malthouse Theatre, Melbourne Theatre Company, Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company, Illbi- jerri Theatre, La Boite and Black Swan State Theatre. She first dipped her toes into the world of poetry writing in 2017 when she lived in Melbourne, where she spent time writing and popping into poetry events such as Mother Tongue and many more. In her learning of Noongar language, intertwining it into her writing and poetry came naturally. The beauty and core meaning of each word in Noongar Daa opened up a freedom of flow which allowed her to express and share her world in more ways than one. In sharing her poetry and speaking her people’s language, a language that belongs to this land, she hopes to also share the beauty and resilience of Noongar words.
