#About the artwork

For thousands of years, my people walked these lands in harmony with the land.

We sang songs and danced to honour our beautiful animals and culture. Often, we embody our Yurees (totems) and proudly sing out to country, for our connection is strong.

Likewise with The Empire, performance was an important element of our culture.

For centuries, people would gather here at the Bunya mountains and exchange cultural knowledges, this is illustrated in this work; where people from different countries, dance to show off their country and identity.
