Slag Heap
Projects acknowledges the Wilyakali and Barkindji people, the
traditional custodians of the lands, waters and skies within which our gallery
and programs operate. We recognise that connection to culture and community is strong, and sovereignty has never been ceded.
Through our gallery and off-site programs, Slag Heap Projects’ advocates for Far West NSW artists by facilitating experimentation, place-based research and commercial engagement. Slag Heap Projects wants to understand increasingly complex cultural frictions by creating a space where art is a tool for inquiry.

Intergenerational
trauma has been defined as trauma that is passed down from those who directly
experience an incident to subsequent generations (Franco 2021). Through
independent research and embarking on an investigation around the subject of
epigenetics, I have come to understand that trauma can be carried through
generations without finding resolve, unless that line is broken, analysed, and
healed.
