Room 3

Here you can create your own erasure poem, share your reflections, and contribute your voice to this evolving conversation. Please watch the tutorial below for how to make an erasure poem and then try it for yourself with any of the provided texts.

Here are some texts from Indiginews you can use to create your own erasure poem (.docx files are easier to black out online and .pdf files are best for printing):

• A journey’s end — and another beginning (.docx | .pdf)

• A lasting scar of two colonial states (.docx | .pdf)

• Indigenous cradleboard keepers are revitalizing traditional parenting practices (.docx | .pdf)

• Tears, frustration and gratitude at the All Native Basketball Tournament (.docx | .pdf)

Want to share your erasure poem? Tag us on Instagram - we’d love to see your creation!

Thank you attending this digital installation. With peace and vision, Kaye and Gitanjaly.
