– Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art in the MCA Collection CONTINUING THE PAST – Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art in the MCA Collection CLASS KIT W mca.com.au/learn MCA Continuing the past 2 INTRODUCTION What is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art? Quite simply, it is the work produced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists. This work may reference cultural and historical themes that relate to Indigeneity, but it is not restricted to this. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art feature diverse media and span many art forms including painting, sculpture, video work, sound work, installation, photography, performance and weaving. This class kit is one of a four-part series that engages with the diversity, specificity and uniqueness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, communities and cultures through four themes. This class kit will engage with the theme of ‘Continuing Brook Andrew Warrang 2012 the past’ and reflects our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander animated LED arrow, Australian hardwood with shou-sugi-ban finish, Cultural Learning Framework.

What sounds, smells or sights did you experience along the way? • Were sounds you heard at home different to what you heard at school or at the park? • What were all the twists and turns you took – up staircases, over hills, past trees, birds, water, or down different streets? • What Country did you start on? Was it Gadigal, Bidjigal or Wangal? Burramatigal, Cammeraygal or Dharug? Do some research to find out if the Country you started on is the same as where you are now. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY At the MCA, we acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the traditional owners of the ACTIVITY land and waters upon which the MCA stands. Find out what Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islands Nation or Country you are on and acknowledge the custodians of this land. MCA Continuing the past 4 Think of a technique or skill that your parents or grandparents have taught you. For example, knitting, cooking a meal or riding a bike. • How did they teach you or pass on this information? • How would you teach this skill to someone else? What changes would you make? WARM-UP MCA Continuing the past 5 “ I create new ways all the time. They are only my ideas... I pass on my ideas to my children and to my grandchildren. It is important that I teach them, because one day I will be gone, and they will take my place. Lena Yarinkura,” Ngalmudj (Rainbow Serpent) 2016 (artist statement) MCA Continuing the past 6 Left to right: Lena Yarinkura Djirrk/Malga (string bag) 1985–1990 cocky apple tree fibre string, 79 x 51 cm irreg.

Museum of Contemporary Art and Maningrida Arts and Culture, purchased 2003 Image courtesy and © the artist / Licensed by Copyright Agency MCA Continuing the past 7 About the artwork The djirrk or string bag is part of the oldest weaving tradition in Arnhem Land. These string bags are worn strapped to the body, designed for personal use and food collecting. The simple loop stitch is made to be flexible and move as the bag’s contents grow. Lena Yarinkura’s djirrk is ‘traditional’ in the sense that it continues a long- held practice, the subtle bands of colour are a more recent addition and set the work apart from contemporary weavers. Yarinkura learnt the techniques of string-bag weaving and pandanus basketry from her mother Lena Djamarrayku, and her classificatory mother Mary Karlbirra, wife of celebrated Burarra/ Gunnartpa artist England Banggala.

However, she began to adapt these techniques and has since altered her artmaking process to continue long-held practices in new ways, such as in Camp dog. How has a skill you have learned changed since you were taught it? • •Consider Consider factors form, materials,such as colour, techniques form, technique and subject and matter. materials. A change in any of these can be an innovation to the practice. • How do you think Lena Yarinkura has evolved her pratice? • Did you change the practice yourself? Or did someone show you a different way to do it? DISCUSSION IDEAS MCA Continuing the past 9 Matilda Nona Araw Warul 2016 linocut on paper, image 119 x 200.5 cm, sheet 124.5 x 220 cm, frame 134 x 229 x 75 cm Museum of Contemporary Art, purchased with funds provided by the MCA Foundation, 2017 Image courtesy and © the artist MCA Continuing the past 10 About the artwork Araw Warul depicts the time of the turtle-hunting season on Badu Island in the Torres Strait, when Badu Islanders catch green turtles as a traditional food source. In an intricate design of overlapping spirals, Matilda Nona shows the turtles swimming against the strong tides during Sageraw Thonar, the dry season that runs from May to December. During these months, the turtles float closer into the seagrass reefs of the island and become easier to hunt. The turtles that inhabit the coastal waters help sustain the livelihoods and cultural and spiritual beliefs of Torres Strait Islanders. Knowledge of turtles’ cycles of mating and breeding, and of the best time to hunt them, is handed down through dance and song. In more recent times knowledge has been passed through printmaking Matilda Nona in linocuts and etchings. The distinctive patterning and Araw Warul (detail) 2016 line work that Nona employs draws on the traditional linocut on paper, image 119 x 200.5 cm, sheet 124.5 x 220 cm, frame 134 x 229 x 75 cm Melanesian carving practices of the Torres Strait, in Museum of Contemporary Art, purchased with funds provided by the MCA which masks, drums and utensils were decorated for Foundation, 2017 Image courtesy and © the artist ceremonial and everyday purposes. MCA Continuing the past 11 Nona’s work transmits knowledge of the climate, the ecosystem and hunting practices. While this knowledge was traditionally passed on through dance and song, Nona uses carvings, linocuts and printmaking. Have you ever passed on information to someone in a different way than the way in which you were told? • How many different ways of passing on information or knowledge can you think of? Try some out with friends – is the interpretation of the information the same with every method? • Can you think of any examples of storytelling where a story you knew was interepreted in a new way? What was your reaction to this re- telling? DISCUSSION IDEAS MCA Continuing the past 12 Yarinkura makes functional objects (for example, Djirrk/Malga) and sculptural figures (for example, Camp dog) by using traditional techniques in innovative ways. Why do you think it is important to develop different methods of passing on knowledge, skills and techniques?

  • Fishing Malgun
    Aboriginal Heritage Office Yarnuping Education Series Ku-ring-gai, Lane Cove, North Sydney, Northern Beaches, Strathfield and Willoughby Councils © Copyright Aboriginal Heritage Office www.aboriginalheritage.org Yarnuping 9 - Women and Salt Water Country – Fishing Karen Smith & Phil Hunt Sydney Aboriginal women are too often forgotten in the stories of Bennelong and other Sydney men of the late 1700s, early 1800s. I wanted to bring them to the fore in this Yarnuping about Saltwater Women. You will note that the commentators are largely men, which adds further imbalance to the story, so we must take things with a grain of salt. Malgun The Aboriginal custom of female finger- tip removal – 'malgun', “the finger is taken off by means of ligature (generally a sinew of a kangaroo) tied so tight as to stop the circulation of the blood, which induces mortification and the part drops off. I remember to have seen Colbee’s child, when about a month old, on whom this operation had just been performed by her mother.” Watkin Tench 1788 page 248 For example, Captain Arthur Phillip, of the First Fleet, interpreted finger tip removal as follows: “It was now first observed by the Governor that the women in general had lost two joints from the little finger of the left hand. As these appeared to be all married women, he at first conjectured this privation to be part of the marriage ceremony; but going afterwards into a hut where were several women and children, he saw a girl of five or six years of age whose left hand was thus mutilated; and at the same time an old woman, and another who appeared to have had children, on both of whom all the fingers were perfect.

Kathy Melky Principal School contact details: Cammeraygal High School 192 Pacific Highway Crows Nest 2065 http://www.cammeraygal-h.schools.nsw.edu.au/ [email protected] Phone: 99547100 Message from the Principal Cammeraygal High School is a vibrant comprehensive coeducational high school that commenced operation in 2015 with its first Year 7 cohort. The school caters to the academic, extracurricular and wellbeing needs of students in the lower North Shore of Sydney. The name Cammeraygal has come from the school communities' wish to name the school as an acknowledgement of the traditional custodian clan name of the tribal groups that have historically inhabited the North Sydney area. The process of naming the school involved consultation with our local Aboriginal community who provided the school with a smoking and naming ceremony to bless the grounds and future of the school. The name Cammeraygal High School has allowed our school community to pay respect to the original custodians of this land and in turn has promoted values of egalitarianism and inclusivity for our students to live by in a spirit of continued reconciliation for our future.

  • 2. Aboriginal Heritage
    2. Aboriginal Heritage 2. Aboriginal Heritage Background Information: This significant site was the home of the Cammeraygal people. They were a clan of the Guringai language group. The Cammeraygal lived a sustainable lifestyle in keeping with the Dreaming. This area provided bountiful water resources with easy access to the harbour for bark canoes. Bush resources for food and tools were plentiful. This gave the Aboriginal people plenty of time for Spiritual practice and ceremony. It is written in history that Cammeraygal were the main clan in the region that held the initiation ceremonies for the men and were feared, but also looked up to. The Cammeraygal were known over a very wide area and early historians wrote and drew of their ritual ceremonies. Early paintings show the Cammeraygal tooth removal ceremony. For the Cammeraygal people, their way of living with Country and spirit followed the rules of the Dreamtime, and was learned and expressed in the Dreaming. Obligations for family and each other were expressed in Kinship lore and with Totems. The Aboriginal Dreamtime Just as every culture has its creation stories – the Dreamtime is the creation period whereby Creation Spirits (ancestors) shaped the world and created every natural thing in it. The Dreamtime was the beginning of the world. In essence creation stories generally involve the intervention of supernatural events and beings as a means of explaining the origins of the world and the beings in it. The Aboriginal Dreaming The Aboriginal concept of time is cyclic rather than linear. Although the Dreaming activities occurred at the beginning of the world and are now in the past, there is also a sense that they are still present.

  • Integrated Learning – Innovative Pedagogy for Cross-Curricula Inquiry
    Integrated Learning – innovative pedagogy for cross-curricula inquiry. Traditional Custodians. I respectfully acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land where we meet today, the Cammeraygal people of the Guringai tribe of the Eora nation. Silkwood School is part of Kombumerri country and the wider Yugambeh language region, which includes the Gold Coast, Scenic Rim and Logan regions. At Silkwood School we have explored the notion that in order to protect and sustain the environment, people have to connect with it in physical and emotional ways, through direct experience. The respect and intuition our traditional owners have for the land and the interconnectedness of all elements is an inspiration for us. By getting in touch with our local indigenous communities we hope to inspire young people build deeper connections to themselves, others and their local environments in meaningful and authentic ways. Learning Intention. This interactive workshop will explore how integrated learning can deliver the Australian Curriculum to students in cross-curricula ways that keep enthusiasm and curiosity for learning alive. How to: ➢ Work through interdisciplinary modalities - incorporating cross-curriculum priorities and general capabilities; ➢ Create learning opportunities that are developmental and differentiated, authentically contextualised and individualised; ➢ Negotiate the creation of meaningful and relevant learning artefacts that can be mapped to achievement objectives across various curriculum strands; ➢ Integrate inquiry and project-based learning principles; ➢ Focus on creative and critical thinking processes to intentionally enhance each student’s learning adventure; ➢ Reflect on student engagement through learning process. Check In: Is there anything else you were expecting from today, that’s not listed here? Silkwood School Vision Statements.

    THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY - ABORIGINAL AND TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER WORKFORCE STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK 2019 - 2021 Serika Shillingsworth (2017) Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Science, University of Sydney The University of Sydney Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Workforce Strategic Framework 2019 - 2021 FOREWORD The Lands on which this University operates have always been places of culture, of learning, of health and of history. It has always been a place to celebrate, to honour and to acknowledge all of life’s great transitions. People came together to share, exchange and learn from each other. It is not surprising that the University of Sydney stands upon Lands that are steeped in history older than the earliest of any other world known traditions. These are the Lands of the peoples who are today recognized as belonging to the oldest, continuing culture in the world. Knowing that and taking responsibility for addressing this is no small responsibility of Australia’s oldest university. We have a responsibility to ensure that all we do reminds us of the place and of the people who host us today. This University has many firsts to its name, and holds a place in the hearts of many, but we do have a long way to go to ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of this nation are afforded equitable opportunities. Today, the University of Sydney recognizes that it has a responsibility to play a leading national role in contributing to efforts to ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders can enjoy their identity as confident, proud, and respected participants in university life and beyond.
