25.01.2022 Celebrating NAIDOC Week, Australia is home to the oldest continuing cultures on the planet. This year’s theme is Always Was, Always Will Be - recogni...sing that First Nations people have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years and that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were this country’s first explorers, engineers, farmers, scientists, artists etc. National NAIDOC 2020 is underway now until 15 November, showcasing the rich histories, culture, customs and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. It’s easy to join in online, and keep an eye out for special events in your community https://bit.ly/3kcFZ6z. Happy NAIDOC Week.

23.01.2022 A L W A Y S W A S A L W A Y S W I L L B E In Australia we are celebrating NAIDOC week - recognising the rich history of Aboriginal culture a...nd celebrating the achievements of Aboriginal people. Here are a selection of portraits from the Wiradjuri Grasslands project I have been working on for the last four years with Aboriginal communities on country - Brungle, Wagga, Narrandera, Tumut, Cootamundra started and facilitated by @thewiredlab. The aim is to inspire new artists to move away from raffia, jute and other imported materials to be able to identify, harvest and weave with native plants and materials endemic to the area. Hard to choose just ten pics from the years of workshops and events but these ones show some of the pride the project engendered, the quality of connection of young and old and beautiful things produced. Sending my love and respect to elders Aunty Cheryl Penrith, Aunty Gail Mandersen, Aunty Sony Piper, Aunty Phyllis, Aunty Pat and Deb Wood (and her Eve), Peter Beath, Melanie Evans, Amanda Reynolds and Nioka Dupond; proud mob committed to sharing and strengthening their culture. I'm honoured to be welcomed and richer for my experiences with you. Especially the laughs. Mandaang guwu. When things settle, we are working towards an exhibition at The Museum of The Riverina which will weave together fibre work, imagery, language and storytelling from the grasslands.
