Those Dreamings travelled like human beings and their spirit is still there in the country. We talk to them as our own relations and we believe their spirits come back into our families in the new generations that are born.

"I am a Garawa man. My country is in the southwest Gulf of Carpentaria.

 

"I started painting so I can get my voice out. I want to show people what is happening to our country and to Aboriginal people. No one is listening to us. What we want. How we want to live. What we want in the future of our children. It's for these reascons that I started to paint. I want government to listen to Aboriginal people. I want people in the cities to know what's happening to us and our country." 

Therese Ritchie is a resident Darwin artist, photographer and graphic designer whose experiences and insight into the political and social life of the Northern Territory continue to inspire her digital collages and her contribution to contemporary Australian art. 

Seán has a background in applied anthropology and Indigenous policy. His research interests are community-based management of natural resources, common property rights, common property resource institutions, subsistence, political ecology, and community-based development.
