Academy: Para Hills
Description:
Our collaborative piece incorporates seven main language groups coming together.
The white on the edges is to signify peace and the Torres Strait Islander culture.
The pathways that lead to the centre use earthly colours to represent the land and rocks, which was completed by a proud Yamitji student. These paths lead to the weaving aspect of the design which represents Ngarrindjeri culture.
Alongside that is the greenery next to the water which represents the rushes that the Ngarrindjeri people use for weaving and the waterways of Kaurna country.
At the top a Boonwurruny student represented his country, where turtles are found.
The seven circles scattered across the artwork symbolise the seven languages that our academy share.
The butterfish at the bottom of the collaborative piece was incorporated by a proud Narungga student.
The brown Mimis across the artwork were interlaced by an Arrernte student, along with honey ants and their nests.
The animal prints are the Ibis and Kangaroo, which are of significance and commonality to Kaurna land.
