Wominjeka-Festival-2017-Program-Low-Res.Pdf We acknowledge that we are on traditional lands of the Kulin Nation. We offer our respect to the Elders of these traditional lands and, through them, to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. WORDS FROM OUR ELDERS Arweet Carolyn Briggs Wominjeka Festival is something that brings all people together, a Ngargee from all places and all people. It is a time when the Kulin Nations come together so that we can invite other people to come to respect and honour the work that has been made by our artists. It is also a time for us to come together and celebrate the privilege of being here, to avoid the trap of being angry and instead bringing conversations to light that embrace the knowledge of the Elders. We’ve all been through trauma, so we understand and we use the opportunity to engage with the refugee community to share stories and create safety. We help people to support the values of the First Peoples. Wominjeka 2017 is a collection of songs and stories from all places and all people. Annette Xiberras Wominjeka Festival is a festival that welcomes visitors to come along and celebrate the arts, the stories, the songs and the rivers. To us, the river is the secret to life - it’s like the milk from the mother to the baby - an important source that keeps us all alive and healthy. The Festival is a place for us to celebrate and come together as one. It’s not talking about reconciliation - it’s doing reconciliation. It’s working together to ensure togetherness for all. Wominjeka includes many activities for families - activities that encourage us to be in life, not out of it. These sort of activities help our children to live like we did in the old days - connected to art and culture, and Country. I hope you enjoy Wominjeka 2017. Yarnz with Uncle Larry Walsh For me, Wominjeka is about the up-and-comers. Young creators, painters, musicians and performers getting the chance to be seen and heard, giving them confidence to take the next step. We know we have to use the bigger name artists to get the young ones heard, but that’s ok. One day they will be the big names, drawing the big crowd. I remember Dave Arden and Archie Roach - all of these big artists, when they first started. They were doing pub gigs, getting played on 3CR. I’ve got recordings of them they probably hope would never come to light! When Archie was only used to campfire singing and hadn’t been around mics and PA’s too much. Between me and another fella (Giller McGuiness) we could probably embarrass every top 10 Aboriginal artist in Victoria with these recordings! We tried hard to revive Aboriginal music in Victoria in the ‘80s, growing our own scene. And now the next generation are coming through and hitting the mark every time. They get the chance at Wominjeka to play and perform with well-known musos, which will hopefully mean they can Front cover: Benny Walker. Image by Carlo Santone take the next step and surpass their teachers and idols, or at least get the excitement to keep going. Being an artist is a hard road. People are told they won’t make a living and their confidence is destroyed before they even begin. In programming the Festival we strive for a blend of the younger and the established, and a relationship between the two so the more senior artists can give the young ones a hand and build them up. We are modern, urban artists building on the past. From all over we come together to explore art in modern ways. WORDS FROM FCAC Lydia Fairhall, Worimi Gamipingul, FCAC Head of Programming It’s a statement of the obvious to say that Wominjeka Festival and the artistic program at FCAC would not be possible without the Elders, artists and people who make up the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community of Melbourne’s west. I am forever humbled and inspired by the generosity and wisdom of our Elders in Residence Arweet Carolyn Briggs and Uncle Larry Walsh whose commitment to supporting the contemporary stories of our people is immeasurable. Similarly, I am so grateful for the vision of the advisory group (Karen Jackson, Genevieve Grieves, Vicki Couzens, Rob Bundle, Annette Xiberras and Paola Balla) and their dedication to curating a program that deeply engages, disturbs and questions outdated views of artistic practices that the colonial gaze too often forces upon as creators and producers. Our art has emerged from campfires, rivers, sideshow tents, secret gatherings of culture and song in drafty mission buildings, footy clubs, churches, prisons, arts centres, protest sites in inner city streets, galleries and backyards. We look forward to celebrating with you on the banks of the Maribyrnong. Jade Lillie, FCAC Director and CEO Footscray Community Arts Centre is proud to deliver Wominjeka Festival 2017, once again from the banks of the Maribyrnong River, our home. This year we weave threads between language and family, through the sharing of stories, music, performance and participation, from Country to Country, within Melbourne’s west and beyond. As always, my thanks to FCAC’s Indigenous Advisory Group whose guidance continues to shape this festival, our Indigenous Cultural Program and through this, the organisation as a whole. Thank you to the FCAC Board and Team and to our festival partners for 2016, Maribyrnong City Council, Ministry for the Arts (Catalyst), St Jerome’s Laneway Festival and First Nations Foundation. I look forward to celebrating Wominjeka 2017 with you. Image by James Henry WOMINJEKA FESTIVAL 2017 PROGRAM OF EVENTS This festival has been supported by Maribyrnong City Council. Join us as we open the Festival with our exhibition program, followed by Wominjeka In Concert. Ganggan bilang (feather basket) Taungurung language, 2016. Image by Cassie Leatham Ngeerang Ngart KAKAY Bronwyn Razem Bronwyn Razem is a Gunditjmara woman of the Kirrae Whurrong clan of western Warrnambool on the Victorian coastline. She integrates ochres, sand and other materials into her paintings, and her works draw on the possum skin cloak traditions of her ancestors. This new body of work features traditional paintings and woven objects, using traditional techniques in a contemporary art setting, celebrating language, family and renewal. FCAC Gabriel Gallery Weaving COUNTRY Curated by Vicki Couzens and Hannah Presley Weaving Country is a celebration of the remarkable unbroken practice of weaving and fibre craft in Victoria. Through the use of natural and contemporary fibres, Aboriginal women weavers reveal the significance of connection to Country. Their creative woven forms offer insights into the health and happiness of their Country, local environments and eco-systems. FCAC Roslyn Smorgon Gallery OPENING: Saturday 14 January, 2pm VENUE: FCAC EXHIBITION: Saturday 14 January - Saturday 1 April Image by James Henry WOMINJEKA IN CONCERT AND TERRAIN FCAC partners again with Maribyrnong City Council and St Jerome’s Laneway Festival to bring the country’s most-loved Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists to the banks of the Maribyrnong River. A celebration of survival, sovereignty, spirituality and song, Wominjeka In Concert remains a celebrated event on the calendar of Melbourne’s west, opening FCAC’s annual program with the voices of the First Peoples. Image courtesy of Maribyrnong City Council FRANK YAMMA Frank Yamma’s star continues to rise as he traverses the globe with his unique and soulful artistry. His lyrics, sung in English and his native Pitjantjatjara language, will make your heart sing in whatever language you speak. Frank’s warm-hearted optimism transcends his life of struggle, and love songs for his family and his Country abound in a catalogue of original music dating back to his earliest performances at age six with his father, legendary Indigenous music star Isaac Yamma. It is this warm heart and his rich and deep tone that inspires audiences everywhere to stand up and listen, and to be moved often to tears and laughter, to stories of universal significance. Regarded by many as one of Australia’s most important Indigenous songwriters, Frank has been a hit on the international festival circuit playing regularly in Canada, Europe and the UK. His successful album releases Uncle and Countryman have been praised by critics the world over and he was awarded Best Independent Country Album at the 2015 Independent Music Awards. WHEN: Saturday 14 January, 4pm VENUE: FCAC Riverside Lawn COST: Free Image by Matt Day WOMINJEKA 2017 TERRAIN Presented in partnership with Laneway Festival. GAWURRA Winner of four National Indigenous Music Awards, Stanley Gawurra Gaykamangu, like fellow Yolngu artist Gurrumul, ‘commands attention regardless of backdrop’ (Rolling Stone). Hailing from Arnhem Land with a deeply resonant voice and musical sensitivity to match, Gawurra won 2015 NT Song of the Year in the Pop category for his song “Ratja Yaliyali”. A beautiful melody and a well-known Yolngu Songline, Ratja Yaliyali translates to ‘vine of love’ - a thread that keeps everything connected. When Yolngu people hear it they feel the spirit in their hearts. A gentle and genuine young leader, Gawurra is due to be an Elder in his community and is passionate about keeping his Gupapuyngu language strong. He has recently performed at Nannup Music Festival (WA), Basin Festival (VIC), Federation Square, the Marngrook Footy Show, Walking With Spirits Festival, Garma Festival and supported Peter Garrett at Darwin Festival. Image by Pippa Samaya LEAH FLANAGAN Leah Flanagan melds an ageless voice with complex and alluring lyrics in a combination that has audiences entranced. It’s a sound reminiscent of singer/songwriters of the ‘70s, capturing hearts with laments and celebrations of love, sincerity and soul.

  • As the Spirit Moves Final
    As the Spirit Moves: A Study of Personal Spirituality as a Source for Musical Inspiration Philip Frank Bywater Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music Performance by Research October 2010 Faculty of the VCA & Music, The University of Melbourne Abstract This research aims to clarify links existing between the performing activities of musicians and their spiritual and religious backgrounds. Specifically, it investigates my spiritual background and the impact it has had on my creative musical activities from 1990-2010. It explores my involvement with the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), demonstrates links between Quaker religious practice and improvised musical performance, charts the musical and spiritual influence of Indigenous Australians on my performances, and examines the influence of contemporary Australian Quaker thought on my recorded and notated musical activities. Chapter 1 outlines my personal spiritual background. It examines the history of Quakerism, clarifying its conceptual origins and outlining the ongoing commitment of Quakers to social justice issues. The conflicted history of art-making within the Society of Friends is investigated, and experiential links between “improvisational” Quaker worship and the practices of improvising musicians are identified. In Chapter 2 I scrutinise my experiences performing with Australian Indigenous musicians, clarifying links in my own performances with Indigenous ideas and concepts of music-making, and exploring how my musical performance and social and spiritual understanding have grown due to Indigenous influences. I explore issues of meaning, language, politics and social structure in relation to Indigenous music, establishing their possible impact on musical structure and performance in Indigenous rock and reggae music.

  • Land, Song, Constitution: Exploring Expressions of Ancestral Agency, Intercultural Diplomacy and Family Legacy in the Music of Yothu Yindi with Mandawuy Yunupiŋu1
    Popular Music (2010) Volume 29/1. Copyright © Cambridge University Press 2010, pp. 81–102 doi:10.1017/S0261143009990390 Land, song, constitution: exploring expressions of ancestral agency, intercultural diplomacy and family legacy in the music of Yothu Yindi with Mandawuy Yunupiŋu1 AARON CORN Pacific & Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures, F12 – Transient, The University of Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Yothu Yindi stands as one of Australia’s most celebrated popular bands, and in the early 1990s became renowned worldwide for its innovative blend of rock and indigenous performance traditions. The band’s lead singer and composer, Mandawuy Yunupiŋu, was one of the first university-trained Yolŋu educators from remote Arnhem Land, and an influential exponent of bicultural education within local indigenous schools. This article draws on my comprehensive interview with Yunupiŋuforan opening keynote address to the Music and Social Justice Conference in Sydney on 28 September 2005. It offers new insights into the traditional values and local history of intercultural relations on the Gove Peninsula that shaped his outlook as a Yolŋu educator, and simultaneously informed his work through Yothu Yindi as an ambassador for indigenous cultural survival in Australia. It also demonstrates how Mandawuy’s personal history and his call for a constitutional treaty with indigen- ous Australians are further grounded in the inter-generational struggle for justice over the mining of their hereditary lands. The article’s ultimate goal is to identify traditional Yolŋu meanings in Yothu Yindi’s repertoire, and in doing so, generate new understanding of Yunupiŋu’s agency as a prominent intermediary of contemporary Yolŋu culture and intercultural politics.
