‘As a party nears its end, the colonial woman adorned in all her finery, her hat full of feathers from birds who are now on our endangered lists, looks wistfully up to the balloons, balloons that could burst at any moment, they talk of the glory days of colonisation, of taking whatever you want without a second thought or consideration for what has been.
