In 1963 in the southern USA, four young Black girls were killed when the church they were in was firebombed. Some say Nina Simone wrote the song Four Women for the four women they may have become.
Four Women (I do belong) Double is curated by Djon Mundine and is inspired by that 1966 song Four Women, which speaks of the perception of Blak women and their inherent pain and strength. Black Women — all women — are of differing personalities, ages, experiences and roles, and remain resilient, creative, and vocal.
Featuring: Karla Dickens, Fiona Foley, Romaine Moreton (in collaboration with Lou Bennett), Wart, Therese Ritchie in collaboration with Jacky Green and Seán Kerins), Nasim Nasr, Teena McCarthy and Carolyn Strachan (in collaboration with Alessandro Cvadeni).
