Eboney Jade Hall, a contemporary Aboriginal artist from the Barkindji and Nyampa peoples, is holding her first exhibition during Reconciliation Week. A fostered child of a fostered child, Hall turned to painting during the Covid lockdown after buying art supplies for her uninterested daughters. She taught herself to develop a symbolic, feeling-based style that explores family, reconnection, and resilience. Her work draws on memories of both Wollongong and Broken Hill, using reds, ochres, and blues to reflect her dual identity. The exhibition marks a personal milestone after years of struggle with alcoholism, domestic violence, and displacement.

It features fragmented painting panels, metal hardware, cast resin mussels, and marine debris, alongside a film narrated from the perspective of mussels in Cavite City. Central to the piece is a queer Filipino time-traveling seafarer named Kerel, whose story unfolds across Cuyson's Kerel Trilogy films. The pavilion, located in the Arsenale, is curated by Mara Gladstone.
