Toni Tait

Toni Tait’s emerging practice examines the entanglements between settler-colonialism, infrastructure, and the natural world. She explores the ways water, land, and infrastructure hold layered histories of erasure and endurance. Working with sound, assemblage, expanded photography, and video, Toni creates site-responsive works that aim to invite embodied encounters with natural and built environments. Through acts of re-mediating, mapping, and disrupting, her practice embodies care, protest, and responsibility, opening possibilities for personal and collective (un)learning. Informed by the work of Aileen Moreton Robinson and Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann, Toni’s practice is grounded in deep listening as a way of connecting to silenced histories, community, land and self.
