Songlines: Aboriginal Art and Storytelling



SONGLINES : ABORIGINAL ART AND STORYTELLING 



 

Not many people actually try to understand indigenous culture so I thought I would share this very short film about Australian Aboriginal art and storytelling. The Australian aboriginals survived thousands of years - through freezing temperatures and the the hottest of droughts. Their history is mind-blowing and I often shake my head in wonder! There are quite a few fabulous You Tube videos on this subject if you are interested.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SHARING:

                    WAYS OF EXPRESSION 
                    WAYS OF LEARNING
                    WAYS OF DOING
                    WAYS OF LIVING
                    WAYS OF GROWING
                    WAYS OF SURVIVAL
                    WAYS OF THE PAST

                    CULTURE
                    
                    HISTORY
                    SACRED CONNECTION
                    COMMUNITY
                    SURVIVAL

                    EARTH 
               
                    WATER
                    LAND
                    VEGETATION  - LAND & SEA
                    ANIMALS   - SEA & LAND
                      
         
                    HUMANS
                      
                    ALL BROTHERS & SISTERS

                    GRATITUDE
                    COMPASSION
                    RESPECT
                    CARING
                    LISTENING
                    TEACHING
                    LOVING
                    WISDOM
                    PEACE,  HAPPINESS &  FULFILLMENT
                      
    We were all made by the same creator. We are all brothers and sisters wanting to be accepted, understood, respected and loved.                  
THE ARTS communicate feelings and opinions and allow the public to softly absorb ideas,  knowledge and wisdom. 
Through writings, and other forms of expression, stories are shared. 
Future generations can learn from past successes and failings. The children of today have opportunity to grow and expand their potentiality and it is through Art and Communication, steeped in soul expression, that expansion can be realized.
