Indigenous Ontologies seminar

Symbols are how we communicate. They are the substance of our lives, we adopt them to express ourselves or the community we belong to, they both tell us and speak our story. And currently this country, Australia, is struggling in its quest for a story, a narrative that is inclusive and encompassing of our past, present and future. Event speaker Jeff Hulcombe, has worked in Central Australia, learning a set of symbols that Anangu of the region have formulated to articulate their story. He is also involved in establishing and managing an Indigenous ranger program at Papunya. More recently he has returned to teaching to help set up a secondary education program at Amunturrngu (Mt Liebig), 320 km. north-west of Alice Springs. All are welcome to attend the seminar.
