Culture is life shoutout/ Acknowledgment
———————————

I wanted to give a big shoutout to @cultureislife__ and the amazing black women who had supported me through the collaboration with @wittnershoes.
To Thara Brown and Culture is life Ceo Belinda Duarte Thank you for your constant support. I felt comfortable and empowered through the whole collab because you continued to lift me up. I can’t wait to see another artist work with culture is life and experience what I have. This is something I will never forget.

Again thank you both from the bottom of my heart. Keep empowering our talented mob and keep doing amazing things for our communities.

The artwork featured on the Winyarr Collection depicts a group of women along the sacred Dungala (Murray River), linking arms to represent the Aboriginal women that have been here for thousands of years and are still here today.

Winyarr means ‘Aboriginal woman/women’ in Yorta Yorta Language and through my artwork i honour the long line of strong black women who i come from and i hopes that all women feel a sense of pride walking in these shoes 👣

Check the link in my bio to buy these deadly shoes and walk in the shoes of the oldest living culture in the world 🌎 🌿👣✨👠

In northeast #Tasmania, #tebrakunna - #larapuna Country, we meet #trawlwulwuy woman Emma Lee. For the trawlwulwuy there’s no notion of humans as separate from anything else in nature: everything is connected by the thread of kinship.

#BackToNatureEducation materials explore concepts of #kinship and how #teachers can relate these themes into the #classroom for a deeper respect and understanding of people, culture and #Country.
