Join Tuan Andrew Nguyen as he retraces the making of We Were Lost in Our Country. Now in the Nevada Museum of Art permanent collection, this moving-image work tells the remarkable story of the Ngurrara Canvas II (1997), which was made by a group of forty men and four women from the Walmajarri, Wangkatjunga, Mangala and Juwaliny communities and language groups. Through interviews with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, Nguyen conveys the story of the Ngurrara Canvas II, exploring themes of personal agency, inherited trauma, and intergenerational transmission.
