Closing The Gap by Crowmanic
Closing The Gap is currently in vogue, used to describe all Government policy, strategies and bureaucratic practices, tying all funding towards “closing the gap” between (what’s left of) Aboriginal people and the Mainstream. In effect, not only is it an attempt to ensure the so-called equality to health, education, training, and employment opportunities for the Aborigines, it whites-out Aboriginal culture, a different world-view centred in spirituality, as well as their unique heritage and contribution. It is little more than another form of assimilation — the domination of dear ol’ “sMother Culture” pasteurising and homogenising everything in the name of “Our way of life. So get out of the way.” And b4 you come a-gunnin’ for me, or over-reacting … don’t sweat it… your sides winning by pure numbers and persuasion. Chill-out! I hear it everyday. Don’t worry, be happy, ‘cause all remnants of meaningful differences will be gone soon enough, and yep “we’re all the same, and we can have it all” will be the common ground for more.. ”...they may look with eyes wide open but never quite see, and may listen with ears attuned but never quite understand.” ~ taken from a Book, that is an international best seller, read by multi-millions of people, yet understood by few and far between.

“Desert Sands” by Susan Betts
The desert camps are dry, hot and red. Sands in between camps shift in the desert wind. People sit around camps sheltered from the drifting sands.

"Faces of Love - A Combo" by Shree
LOOKS BEST WHEN VIEWED LARGER * / / Guys…this is one of my favourites of all Nail paintings as this is special in its own way and let me share you the joy…. This is my first two piece Nail Painting as i started to paint i went thru so much of various imaginations as the theme is such that we all can relate to it in one way or other being involved & inspired by Love with its different faces…it was not enough to potray all the faces in one piece so started another shading both a better and bitter sides of Love..and hope you guys will also believe that Love indeed have many faces.. Well another most cherishable experience attached to this artwork was a humble, instant and mindblowing poetic wordly life showered by one of the most tallented and amazing artist on RB and thats Bonita…ya that bamagirl to whom i just causually requested if she can write few lines on my new artwork with the theme of Love and look at her poem, so perfect, so meaningful and so much thoughtful that i was simply amazed with her inborn poetic vibrations comming out of her so very instantly. All the credit goes to her and guys she is such a helpful and true person that i am feeling proud & honoured to work with her and i owe her everything for giving life to my artworks in her own magical way. Hope you all will enjoy and have the same fun that we both had in creating this combined effort and i wish her great artistic and poetic future in comming days. / / Shree & Bonita.

About This Group
A group that celebrates Aboriginal art and culture. This group exists to support and promotes indigenous artists, art & culture from around the world. It is highly recommended that only artwork created by or in collaboration with people from indigenous (Aboriginal) heritage is uploaded to this site – otherwise I cannot guarantee it is not removed. I also recommend that the artwork must respect and adhere to the cultural protocols of the indigenous peoples whom you represent. Protocols are appropriate ways of using Indigenous cultural material, and interacting with Indigenous people and their communities. Protocols encourage ethical conduct and promote interaction based on good faith and mutual respect.
