'There is no greater force than a mother with a fight. She will take the risks—even against a world that has pushed her aside—to protect her family.
'Ngarngk—meaning ‘giver of life’ in the Nyoongar language—puts women at the front in a powerful story about black motherhood and returning to traditional practices. Will the the Tannin family survive the fight, or will the system win again?
'Nyoongar writer NazAree Dickerson hits hard with this matriarchal story—her debut work as a playwright, championing the strength and resilience of her foremothers.'
