Synopsis

Cleaning In Progress, by Miream Salameh presents the daily life of myself and my family following our forced displacement from Syria in 2012 and subsequent settlement in Australia. The film interrogates our family’s experiences in relation to the displacement and oppression undergone by Aboriginal people in Australia and considers the ramifications of being a displaced person settled on Indigenous (stolen) land. The film is situated between Art and Documentation as a relation between traumatic events and the recording of a truth as means for preventing the distortion and erasing of facts by colonial powers.
