Nation Heal 2020
This is a Call Out, to ask and encourage everyone to sit down On Country and do Healing Circles simultaneously, all over our nations and all over the world.
Lets h e a l our communities, and also counteract the idea of Cook2020 with something positive and proactive for our Nations. Its time.
The date is set as Sunday 9am-12pm on 9 Feb 2020 (Queensland time). In Cairns we will be meeting at CoCA for Yarn h e a l that will be facilitated by Ganna Healing.
All it takes is for someone to facilitate and others to participate in their own Talking Circles at the same time all over the place.
Lets do this. Revitalising the ancient practice of Yarning Circles to heal ourselves, heal our communities, heal our land and waterways.
We all heal together, shoulder to shoulder.
Jenny Fraser

>>> The motion of the ocean brings us together from the four winds in a remix of culture, with unique impressions of landscapes and seascapes. This is a screening from the new wave of screen artists that shines a light on a fertile mix of artforms, where dance and music can collide with an ancient visual literacy and new technologies. In the interest of protocol, best practice and inclusiveness, screen art has been selected from Australian-based viewpoints to highlight the fact that our coastal areas have an interesting hybrid mix of artists from neighbouring cultures, right here, right now, focused on dialogue with the First People of Australia. We come to you in an oceania remix, a group representing many Nations, Tribes, States, Islands, Languages, Cultures and artforms, of varying hybridity, and bring the spirit of all that vibrancy with us. Modern Dreamings acknowledge the presence of a modern reality which is different to that of the past, and sometimes the same. ...hope you can make it to this free screen event, a finale, held in conjunction with Tides of Transformation: Pacific Pasts, Pacific Futures - The 6th Biennial Conference of the Australian Association for Pacific Studies. presented by VJ Jenny Fraser http://www.worldscreenculture.tv facebook event page https://www.facebook.com/events/212275805797164 |
