Kunyi
Kunyi is a story of healing and reconciliation. Being just four years old when she and three of her siblings were taken from their family to the Oodnadatta Children’s Home in South Australia in the 1950s as part of The Stolen Generation, Kunyi’s collection of over 60 paintings, accompanied by stories presents a rare chronicle of what life was like for her and the other Children’s Home kids who became her family.
