Dr Deanne Gilson explores matriarchal knowledge, cultural practices and the impact of colonisation in her new body of work, 'Carrying the Cultural Load'. This series builds on her ongoing project, 'Baskets of Knowledge'.

Traditionally, Wadawurrung ancestors would weave baskets from grasses, using them in daily life to carry bush foods, adornments, artefacts, and for fishing. While weaving, conversations would unfold, knowledge shared and stories exchanged among Elders, men, women, children, friends, and extended family.

Since colonisation, the practice of making traditional grass baskets has been revived by many First Peoples. For Deanne, these baskets carry multiple layers of meaning. In this two-dimensional body of work, the basket becomes a metaphor for the body, carrying women's business and reflecting both traditional and contemporary experiences. Gilson carries matriarchal stories and, at times, the weight of colonisation, as an extension of her mum, nan and great-grandmother.

Her work draws on a wide range of themes, including spiritual concepts such as Creation Stories and Songlines, as well as lived experience, ceremony, dance, identity, and women’s business. Through these themes, she explores trauma, healing, resilience, and the passing down of cultural knowledge to future generations. As Gilson explains: “At times the load can be heavy and pull me down, and at other times I feel like dancing, lifted up by the spirit of my ancestors, celebrating culture, family and life.”
