A series of eight shields protect protestors as they always do. The impact of the oversized artefacts challenge the original unequal power dynamic. \nIt is timely to reflect on how this has reverberated through the generations and still affects black-white relations in Australia today. This is our shared history\, here reflected in these letters. Everyone must be aware of the past and its ongoing effects today\, in order to bring forth a new tomorrow. \nFor Treaty. For Sovereignty. For Recognition. For Justice.\nThe Ancestors have spoken out.\nHear them now.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef075d-659f”][vc_column_text]Lee Darroch is a proud Yorta Yorta\, Mutti\, Boon Wurrung woman who has lived for the past 31 years on Raymond Island.

The artist uses pattern\, color\, shape and design to create paintings that depict their sense of country\, culture and self. \nThe shapes and designs may have features common to ancient rock art and petroglyph designs found throughout the traditional country of Eastern Arrernte. Other designs reflect sand and body painting designs. In its contemporary form these designs on the canvas\, ceramics and object may not be attributed to any particular thing\, but an expression of the artist. \nEastern Arrernte cultural identity includes a dreaming\, a skin name\, a place\, as well as family name\, language\, and community. These things are not necessarily reflected in the design or outcome of each painting. \nkeringkearts.com.au[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”About Keringke Arts” tab_id=”1451285630325-09def419-bb74b1db-6de1e7f6-592d”][vc_column_text]Keringke Arts\, Ltyentye Apurte community (Santa Teresa)\, Northern Territory \nKeringke Art Centre began with a nine week fabric-painting course back in 1987. In 1988 the women of Santa Teresa held an exhibition in at Australian Bicentennial Craft Show\, the first time an Aborginal group had done so. By 1989\, ATSIC funding had allowed the building of a purpose-built Art Centre. It was named after the Dreaming place of Kathleen Wallace\, one of the artists at Santa Teresa. Keringke means ‘Kangaroo Tracks’. It is Kangaroo Dreaming. \nThe Centre quickly became an influential model for other art projects in the area\, and in 1992 a cultural exchange program saw the group exhibiting in New Zealand. Despite widespread funding cuts to Art Centres during the 90’s\, Keringke has flourished in recent times and is now a vital component of the area’s cultural\, social and economic fabric. \nkeringkearts.com.au[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]
