About the artwork

  • This artwork represents the strength of communities coming together to create change. The central gathering circles symbolise unity, where voices and stories rise from Country and connect across the land. The flowing lines represent pathways of resilience, carrying knowledge, culture, and truth forward.

  • The vibrant colours reflect hope, justice, and the energy of people standing strong for human rights. The bright yellow pays respect to Amnesty International Australia, while the deeper ochres and purples ground the design in the strength of Country.

About the artist

  • A proud Gomeroi woman, mother of three, and multidisciplinary artist born and raised on Gomeroi Country in Tamworth, New South Wales.

  • Tess’s art is grounded in her deep connection to culture, family, and Country, and she uses her skills to share stories, celebrate identity, and keep knowledge strong for future generations.

        There's many more 'cultures' available that can be shared. This being a 'multi-cultural country', why is it ALWAYS about the aboriginal culture??????

        • 0jay on 23/10/2025 - 17:28

          well, the many cultures you're referring to that make up australia have taken advantage of occupied land. that is, land that was occupied.

          to put it another way, there were people living here when euros showed up and started slaughtering the folks who'd lived here long before they'd shucked off the bearskin or whatever they were wearing when they restricted they slaughter to they immediate neighbours on the european continent.

          celebrating aboriginal cultures's sposed to be about acknowledging that folks were here before the rest of us fronted up and started telling the indigenous folks to clear off and find somewhere else to live

          • teddiebear on 23/10/2025 - 17:33

            @0jay: Nah nah nah. People were born at the same time you were born. What happened over 200years ago has nothing to do with me, you, or anyone else.
            You're telling me aboriginal people are older than cro-magnon man?

            • 0jay on 23/10/2025 - 17:33

              @teddiebear: i'm telling you why there's a pattern of celebrating indigenous culture in this country

              • teddiebear on 23/10/2025 - 17:38

                @0jay: So, Australia is the birth place of the first human? Africa doesn't play a role in it? Land-bridges have nothing to do with migration of people?

                    @0jay: The oldest culture in the world. First it was 20k, then 25k, then 35k and now 65k years old. It's a load of crap. They were not the first people

                      @teddiebear: you an historian are y?

                      i know next to nothing about prehistory. know a little bit about historicisation of modernity, little bit about anthropological theory, bit about politics and cultural theory.

                      you sound a bit like your ex was a specialist in prehistory and you're still mad she tossed your favourite pair of nikes

                      @teddiebear: As new informarion comes to light anthropologists are able to have a better insight. It'a not some conspiracy, it's how Science works.

                      Similarly with the earth, using a flat model worked, when we started to sail long distances we became aware that was wrong, so we do some investigation discover it's round, get better data and it's spheroidal etc

                      As you get new updated and better infomation, do you change your thinking or stuck on flat earth ?

              @teddiebear:

              Nah nah nah. You are presumably some fraction of white so you must be guilty for things done by Royalty and their servants / henchman 237 years ago, even though those things weren't a crime at the time, and even if there's no direct blood connection between you and the doers of those things and even if some of those things didn't actually happen. It doesn't even matter if your ancestors were brought over as Irish slaves or if you arrived last week.

              /s

        • ruprectaus on 24/10/2025 - 09:53

          "Always" is a ludicrous assertion, I didn't realise Christmas was about aboriginal culture, similarly Easter, Anzac day etal ?

          The only national holiday slightly linked is Australia Day and that's the celebration of the beginning of the destruction of thier culture and the enslavment death and slaughter of many 1000s of their people, while we chug beer.

          This is small give away of gift wrapping paper by Amnesty. Some perspective perhaps ?

    FYI to the bigots, there probably is free wrapping paper from your specific whataboutism group that you definitely care about.

    Your lashing out, on an ozb thread over a free indigenous artwork item, shows how much you care about parading your racism and I suggest you use time and effort more effectively. Example include doing a chin up or talking with your family.

    Australia’s “first people” have no solid proof of being “first” or being here for 65,000 years. No written language, no architecture, no engineering, just “stories.” Yet we’re told to accept those stories as fact, while religions with actual written records are ridiculed as “made up,” despite centuries of stone tablets, scrolls, manuscripts, and books backing them up.

    Modern Europeans aren’t Neanderthals from 40,000 years ago, and today’s Italians sure as hell aren’t the same as the ancient Romans from 2,000 years ago. But yeah, 65,000 years… that makes perfect sense.

    It gets even more absurd when you’ve got blond-haired, blue-eyed, white-skinned people whose Aboriginal “heritage” is about 2% from five generations ago claiming to be Indigenous. What a joke.

      They claim to be indigenous because there are perks being one. Why do you think when you call a department or fill in forms, they will ask if you are Aboriginal or Torres Strait islanders? They get preferences too.

        I was thinking more about those "prominent" politicians, councillors, journalists, heads of institutes and commission, CEOs… you know, the ones that are "important". If you or me tried to identify as one we would be told to (profanity) off.

      Don't think first nations people were saying they've been here for 65,000 years. I believe they've been here forever and someone got curious and decided to carbon date artifacts that matched the items (and art) the first nations people continued to make up to recent/continue to do.

      If you convert to Christianity you are continuing the lineage of Christ no matter where or when you started… No one says "oh you're Christianity is only 25 years old! it's not real because you dont have 2000 years of pure blood lineage in scripture, probably done in Harvard referencing". People are culture, we are intertwined with it.

      If direct descendant first nation people made it here 2000 years ago but continued the 63,000 year old traditions of the people before them, I would say that culture, as a whole, has existed 65,000 years.

      Also Neanderthals are known to have interbred with homo sapiens and people within current populations can have significant genome corresponding to Neanderthal genome (quick numbers show 1-4%). If you did a DNA test and were 4% Neanderthal, and there was no stigma with being part Neanderthal then why wouldn't you be proud of that part of you?

      Like if my DNA test said I'm part Indian, or part celtic, etc, even though my immediate family are all eastern European, I'll be proud enough to say the facts of who I am.

      First nations people should be able to have pride in saying "yes I am a first nations descendant" no matter what the genome percentage is. And also I'm nearly certain you don't even need to be a descendant or have genome proof to get those government supports. If you grew up in, or are heavily apart of first nations communities, the first nations governing body for your area can take your life experience into account and validate you for any government things…

        By this logic everyone (even if they only got off a plane and first stepped foot in Australia this morning) are indigenous Aboriginal Australian people.

          Take another pass at it.

          He was saying that the culture would be continued, he wasn't saying the newly arrived people are identifying as the people who started the culture.
