Indigenous Australian artists have been commissioned to embed artwork into the fabric of a new museum in Paris. Walls, ceilings and glass will contain – or be contained by – artworks. Artist Judy Watson has said it is as if the artists are “swallowing” the building. For more, see the Sydney Morning Herald report.
Lately, if you’re in or near Nimbin, you’ll see this sticker a lot.
It is a vision of Michael Bayles:
It is about sharing, caring, honour, integrity, principles and pride.
To make people feel good about who they are,
and the place they come from.
We have called this place home for millions of years,
Now you call this place home.
You have to honour and look after it,
like the first people who called it home,
so it will last another million years.
Through your actions today, you will be an honourable Ancestor
to the children of the future.
You can get a sticker in person from the community-run Nimbin Museum. It’s worth a visit. But don’t worry if you can’t get to Nimbin, you don’t really need the sticker. This vision is livable.
