Wadawurrung Country
We have been fortunate to be able to arrange our final On Country gathering, as a yarning and art experience on the Surf Coast with Aboriginal artist and Nyul Nyul Saltwater Man Lowell Hunter. Lowell’s work is made using bare feet and traditional dance movements to create large-scale murals featuring Dreaming symbols. Lowell will share his story, connection to the land, community and artistic traditions. As well as learning about Lowell’s work, Centre members will be invited to join in the creation of a landscape-scale artwork.
The weather enacted strong agency as the wind had a voice and a hand in our final representation – Bunjil, the creator spirit and symbols of our learning from Country, journey, connections and celebration. The process was embodied and deeply engaging. Lowell Hunter – Salty One… was an excellent guide and shared stories of his journey to becoming a creative sand artist. He reminded us all of our opportunity/responsibility to connect with Country and each other.
