Importance of Place Workshop with Birrunga Wiradyuri
The first question First Nations people ask each other when they meet is “Who’s your mob? Where you from?” It’s a way we seek to find connection and how we relate to each other. This is more than simply a geographic exercise even though place is incredibly important.
By communicating and sharing our place we find our connections. We wanted to take this a step further and find a common ground for non-Indigenous people as well. We’ve achieved that by identifying that we all have that place or places that is special to us. Those places, geographic, metaphoric, emotional, historic or current are the common ground where we understand each other.This workshop teaches the Cultural aspect of the Importance of Place for First Nations mob and guides participants to find their own place and how in doing so they can then find connection with their environment and to others.
Birrunga will share his cultural place, personal and family lore as well as stories from his ancestors while guidance is given to create your own artwork. You will take home a painting and create your own tangible memory of the importance of place through Art.
