Born in Burnie Lutruwita, Tabitha Glanville spent the first eighteen years of her life in Lutruwita Tasmania before moving to Melbourne and completing a bachelor’s degree at Monash University. An emerging curator, Tabitha situates her curatorial practice in the quiet strength of her Kamilaroi father, and the deep creative and spiritual aptitude of her mother. Tabitha enters the art world with a dedication to research and emotional accessibility, accompanied by a constant view to decolonise. Eschewing selective solidarity, she endeavours to provide space and breathe air into creative practices which follow earnest paths to truth-telling and current discovery.

My honours project arrives in a final installation including three 16:9 single-channel videos attached from left to right resembling a car's rear-view-mirror, and a short publication of poetry, responsive writing, and yarns between myself, my father, and Kamilaroi language-holder and artist Christopher Orchard. The space has been transformed into my childhood bedroom, painted by my parents to resemble Country; my dad recalls wanting me to feel our Country in colour. Rising sternly through 'Nullabor Orange', my family's eyes oversee my dad and I on our return home. In the recreation of my nan's coffee table, I offer it back to her in an imagined state of broken intergenerational silence.
