Colonisation had a devastating effect on Aboriginal culture in many places, but it remained a living culture in Central Australia. Today it is a vital resource to those whose tradition had been forgotten. EarthSong Foundation helps people remember their connection to country, culture and community.
EarthSong 4 – Traditional Culture
Aboriginal Artists from Central Australia talking about their culture and art
I’m promoting Australian Indigenous artists and their artworks from the central desert in Australia so that these artists gain popularity and sell their artworks in other parts of the world. I also want people in other countries to have access an enjoy these wonderful and beautiful artworks in their own homes. Artists in this film: Elizabeth Katakarinja (Walpiri), Mary Nabraula (Willowra, near the Tanami Desert) and Allan James (North West Arnhem Land). Don’ t hesitate to visit my website www.aidah.com.au displaying a large selection of beautiful artworks and artists stories.
Kakadu & Arnhem Land Culture Photo Journey, Australia
Visit a place where time stands still and an ancient culture lives on. For more than 40000 years, the Aboriginal people of Kakadu and Arnhem Land have lived at one with the land. Follow in their footsteps and discover Australia through their eyes. Stories, told on rock canvasses, endure on the walls of Ubirr and Nourlangie Rock in Kakadu and further east at Injalak Hill in west Arnhem Land. On the remote, unspoilt coastline of Port Bradshaw at Bawaka, share their culture through traditional song and dance. Here, men attempt spear fishing mud crab and mullet, while ladies learn the ancient craft of pandanus weaving. Aboriginal history is intrinsically linked with the land and a visit to the Buku-Larrnggay Mulka Art Centre in Yirrkala, 17 kilometres south of Nhulunbuy is a must. If you’re lucky, you may get to watch artists bring their canvasses to life. For more information visit en.travelnt.com For more information about Kakadu National Park visit en.travelnt.com
