The Motherless Collective (MoCo): Digital Narratives

Digital Narratives is an exhibition of new works by the Motherless Collective (MoCo), a First Nations Trans and Gender Non-Conforming collaboration by Stone Motherless Cold (Arrernte) and Mora Money (Wiradjuri). The exhibition navigates how Aboriginal people can connect across this continent, even across the globe with other Indigenous queer folk, which strengthens community and rejects isolation. The artists negotiate who truly feels the burden of misconduct online, and whose responsibility it is to stop it in its tracks. 

The exhibition questions what both the artists and viewers responses are in the era of many people being raised as digital natives: Can Indigenous futures be digitised—or are they handmade? Can oral traditions live online as data centres consume water?​ As online harm grows, do we resist or embrace?​ Where do you stand?​
