Ilona McGuire uses her art as commentary on the political climate of 'Australia', often with a lighthearted humour as a tool for activism. Ilona has grown up embracing her Noongar and Kungarakan cultures, performing with her Noongar family since a young age. Her culture informs her artwork and promotes valuable messages and brings attention to the political climate. Combining technology with culture, Ilona has worked with drone light shows such as “Moombaki” to centre the importance of place in story, and the power of knowing the significance of an area.
