Inspired by Kirli Saunders’ own reconnection Country and Community, Going Home explores the intersection of the removal of four siblings taken from their families in 1970’s and the homecoming of those siblings, to Country in present day.

Weaving fiction with truth, poetry with prose and language with land, this work offers solace to those similarly disconnected and celebrates the strength, survival and warmth of First Nations communities. It explores the intergenerational impacts of shared history and confronts what is left behind when people are forced to go, and prompts you to think about what lies ahead.
