IN OUR OWN RIGHT: Black Australian Nurses’ and Midwives Stories - 2022 National Exhibition
A series of video installations commissioned by The Congress of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives.
Published in 2005, In Our Own Right: Black Australian Nurses’ Stories provides a powerful catalyst for questioning and calling into question the taken-for-granted humanity of us all. Told with incredible dignity and humility, each of the individual and deeply personal stories recounted is a powerful testimony to the gross inhumanity and brutal capacity within Australian society.
“In Our Own Right: Black Australian Nurses’ Stories was distributed to every Contemporary Nurse subscriber in August 2005. Acknowledgement and gratitude is due to all the Indigenous nurses who submitted their stories to make this publication a reality. To all those who were approached and did not submit their stories, thank you for considering doing so. We all appreciate your contribution to Indigenous nursing and health care.
- Sally S. Goold OAM CATSIN, June 2005
CATSINaM would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the many lands of which we live and work, for their continuing connection to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to them, and to their Elders past and present.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are warned that this work contains the names and images of deceased persons.
