Reinforcing the 2023 NAIDOC theme 'For Our Elders', inspired by coolamons created by Euphemia Bostock and informed by ADC's Strategic Framework: First Nations Engagement, With Our Elders continues to celebrate Elders in our community.
Creative Producer Dakota Dixon, in consultation with Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-operative, Claypool and La Perouse Guriwal Elders group, developed a ceramics workshop program for With Our Elders. Through further workshops, the Elders painted their designs onto recycled clay ceramic coolamons. The results are beautiful and imbued with the artistic and cultural knowledge of this amazing group of women.
As the starting point was Euphemia Bostock's work Boomalli Founding Members Coolamons (2012), the project centres around the form of the coolamon, traditionally carved from tree trunks and used to carry water, food and fire for smoking ceremonies. For this project the coolamons are made of the earth - clay.
