Imagine being stolen from your homeland and forced to work on a sugar plantation. Many people are unaware of that happening in this part of the world, but it did. Colonial Sugar, the new exhibition at City Gallery Wellington, by Jasmine Togo-Brisby, addresses the dark history of sugar-cane plantations in Queensland where the artist’s great-great-grandparents were taken from Vanuatu as children to work in the plantations.
