“Now is the time for you to come closer to understand us.” Dr Miriam Rose Ungunmerr Baumann - Aboriginal Elder from Nauiyu (Daily River) and Senior Australian of the year 2021

In the second session of our 3 part Autumn Yarnings webinar series, we hear from Tyson Yunkaporta.

Tyson Yunkaporta is an academic, an art critic, and a researcher who belongs to the Apalech Clan in far north Queensland. He carves traditional tools and weapons and also works as a senior lecturer in Indigenous Knowledges at Deakin University in Melbourne.

Tyson is also the acclaimed author of Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World, the remarkable book that provides a template for living. It’s about how lines and symbols and shapes can help us make sense of the world. It’s about how we learn and how we remember. It’s about talking to everybody and listening carefully. It’s about finding different ways to look at things.

In this 3 part webinar series we hear from Australia’s First Nations voices sharing their stories and cultural wisdoms. An opportunity to provide space for deep listening in order to open the door for understanding and healing.

To be still brings peace - and it brings understanding. When we are really still in the bush, we concentrate. We are aware of the anthills and the turtles and the water lilies. Our culture is different. We are asking our fellow Australians to take time to know us; to be still and to listen to us… Miriam Rose 2021
