"[These curated pieces from Mark Loria] represent the development of the relationship between Aunty Collective and Mark Loria Gallery. The art sector can be inhospitable for many creatives yet through ethics of care Mark shares his time, knowledge, and expertise with us as a new Indigenous Women/2S run galley. Through reciprocal relationships, generosity of spirit and understanding, ew feel seen and understood. WE chose these three pieces from Mark Loria Gallery to put into Ways of our ancestors honouring 2S and women creatives we love and identity with!"
