A lady stopped me to have a chat about my clothes. She was so happy. Llamas have that transformative power. This is by @jerichoroadclothing

Doonooch Dancers and Thikkabilla Vibrations at the Corroboree Ground at the @yabunfestival. Co-hosted by Ursulla Yovich and Joe Williams (he and his son also daced!). The first dance is about fish. Scroll to see another wonderful performance.

Yesterday was the @yabunfestival, an annual Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community event commemorating resistance to invasion, celebrating survival and continuing culture. There is dance, live music, First Nations stalls, speakout tent, an elders tent, games for kids, and food. It was a special treat when the Black Divaz performed all together (First Nations drag queens). Radical Son was excellent, a highlight was a young child performing an Adele cover solo.

Today is #InvasionDay, a day of mourning for Aboriginal and Torres Strait people, who were subjected to genocide, dispossession, removal from Country, generations their children stolen by the Government, into the present day, and forced into assimilation. I'm on Gadigal land of the Eora Nation, now also known as Sydney. There are 29 clans who make up this Nation. Eora means 'here' or 'from this place': 'Local Aboriginal people used the word to describe to the British where they came from and so the word was then used to define the Aboriginal people themselves.'* Aboriginal people have always lived on this country and their sovereignty was never ceded. Whose land are you on? . We are marching from Hyde Park to @YabunFestival to protest this day, in recognition of First Nations leadership and eternal resistance. Map route in my stories . #AbolishAustraliaDay #ChangeTheNation . * Learn more, Heiss & Gibson (2013) https://www.sydneybarani.com.au/sites/aboriginal-people-and-place/ .
