Black Lives Matter protest with Marcia Langton in 2020 in response to Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. In the US, George Floyd was murdered by police in Minneapolis with a knee to his neck & died repeating his mama’s name and “I can’t breathe.” Reasons why Trump’s regime is murdering folx in Minnesota.

Teaching Art this year was a revelation. So much hope ahead in our future with these creative kids. Developing curriculum on the run was challenging but teaching them about Kaylene Whiskey, Molly Hunt, Pop Art, Graffiti public service announcements & Nihonga & Sakura was a fab reset on why I teach.

Always Was, Always Will Be, Aboriginal Land.
Peaceful Invasion Day march in Melbourne. Hearing Gary Foley speak was the absolute highlight. A searing history lesson going back as far as 1967. Hearing language and watching ceremony with speeches from Tarneen Onus and Aretha Brown unified us all.

I was so impressed to see this. I watched it on TV in my local pub in North Fitzroy as a student. Get reading friends.
