Nghuia Murphy is an award-winning scholar, author, artist and public speaker committed to reactivating Indigenous womens sacred knowledge and ritual practice. Her research, described as groundbreaking, revolutionary and incendiary by critics, has been instrumental in reviving lost Mori menstruation rites of passage and womens ceremonies that were deliberately erased through patriarchal colonial processes. Nghuia has worked with Indigenous Peoples around the world in reclaiming matrilineal knowledge through scholarship, theatre work, activism and art.
