Sancintya Mohini Simpson and Shivanjani Lal are two artists whose great-grandparents were taken from India by the British as indentured labourers - Sancintya’s to South Africa, and Shivanjani’s to Fiji. Each investigates this legacy through different art practices but both are dealing with histories that have been erased from the colonial-era archives. Sancintya's exhibition ām / ammā / mā maram  is on at Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA).
