The tragic story behind this doll has been revealed as it's finally returned to Australia

The Derbyshire Record Office contacted TMAG, who contacted the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre.

The exhibition “presents creative work from 20 Tasmanian Aboriginal artists responding to the relationships between community and Ancestral objects, particularly those held in institutions outside of lutruwita/Tasmania”. For her installation in the exhibition, Ross has painted Mithina’s doll, pin cushion, and homelands in southwest Tasmania, imagined as they were before colonisation.

“Our ancestors have been held in many institutions around the world - human remains - so how our objects and our ancestors ended up overseas, sometimes it’s possible to know the details, but other times it’s less clear,” Julie says. Julie says the negotiations with institutions, archives and museums around the world have been a careful, respectful task of conversation and diplomacy.Zoe Rimmer is a pakana woman and artist whose work is also on display.

Mathinna's life has been described in various references, including the book Wanting by John Flanagan.
