Closing The Gap by Crowmanic
Closing The Gap is currently in vogue, used to describe all Government policy, strategies and bureaucratic practices, tying all funding towards “closing the gap” between (what’s left of) Aboriginal people and the Mainstream. In effect, not only is it an attempt to ensure the so-called equality to health, education, training, and employment opportunities for the Aborigines, it whites-out Aboriginal culture, a different world-view centred in spirituality, as well as their unique heritage and contribution. It is little more than another form of assimilation — the domination of dear ol’ “sMother Culture” pasteurising and homogenising everything in the name of “Our way of life. So get out of the way.” And b4 you come a-gunnin’ for me, or over-reacting … don’t sweat it… your sides winning by pure numbers and persuasion. Chill-out! I hear it everyday. Don’t worry, be happy, ‘cause all remnants of meaningful differences will be gone soon enough, and yep “we’re all the same, and we can have it all” will be the common ground for more.. ”...they may look with eyes wide open but never quite see, and may listen with ears attuned but never quite understand.” ~ taken from a Book, that is an international best seller, read by multi-millions of people, yet understood by few and far between.

“Desert Sands” by Susan Betts
The desert camps are dry, hot and red. Sands in between camps shift in the desert wind. People sit around camps sheltered from the drifting sands.

Simple-Hearted Man by Crowmanic
Sometimes, some days, its time to take a walk outside, just because … “There is a man, somewhere out there, / outback, wondering in the wilderness, / brushing the native foliage as he passes in his trekking— / his searching—meandering in the dawning hours of a new day.” Full text of poem, Simple-Hearted Man can be read here

Memorable Moments by Shree
This painting is one of my most attached one & close to my heart for the reason that i started with this painting long back and i gave this title to it because this was indeed a captured moment from my real life childhood as once i and my sister were playing and suddenly a huge storm followed with heavy rains broke down making very tough for me & my sister to cross within those rushing waters…..however my sister made her way holding my hand all the way getting out of that flow which even today i cannot forget….just tried to give a feeling with my brush in my initial days of painiting and if you look at it carefully i even framed it myself with sand paints on it. This is a replica of my hometown, my childhood memories still not fadded and whenever i miss my town..i go near this painting and touch the flowing waters and the thick trees which makes me relaxed & a stroke of cool breeze flow away all around inviting memory tears to flow with that glow..!!! The size is small like 1 feet X 8 inch done with acrylic on paper, but the memories are unforgetable…my sister loves this a lot. /

I have had issues over the years over mental health and the Police. My neck was broken by the Police on 28th October 1998. They have no record of the instance, but the record are on my health file, and now in many hands, for safe keeping. / I have bad days. I had three vertabre fused in my neck ( refer ” A Picture Of Paranoid Scizophrenia” ) Yesterday was a bad day re physical pain, so I rang the police station where the officer who broke my neck worked and left a message on the answering machine, simply call a C… a C… . I later phoned the Victorian Police Commissioners’ office to inform them I had left a message. / To-day I helped a friend move a friend. When I got home there was a card from a Police officer at my door. He had left the district he was in and driven the 40 miles to Maryborough to see me. I phoned his station, the one I had phoned yesterday but my call was diverted to Ballarat, the area head. They were surprised, because there was no car on duty at Avoca. Obviously because he had come out of the area to see me. I phoned the Commissioners Offise again ( 03 92476890 ). / If a person has come to the attention of the law and has a known psychiatric condition, it is against the law for a Police Officer to approach them without a Lisenced Public Advocate from the Public Advocates Department, whose official identification must be shown. It is not a photocopied piece of paper, and bares the Crown seal. Anyone trying to pass themselves off as a Public Advocate and is not will go to jail. / / You do not have to let a Police Officer in your house unless theyhave a warrent. They still have to bring aPublic Advocate as an Independanet Third Party. They can not approach you unless you are commiting a crime. I have no criminal record.

About This Group
A group that celebrates Aboriginal art and culture. This group exists to support and promotes indigenous artists, art & culture from around the world. It is highly recommended that only artwork created by or in collaboration with people from indigenous (Aboriginal) heritage is uploaded to this site – otherwise I cannot guarantee it is not removed. I also recommend that the artwork must respect and adhere to the cultural protocols of the indigenous peoples whom you represent. Protocols are appropriate ways of using Indigenous cultural material, and interacting with Indigenous people and their communities. Protocols encourage ethical conduct and promote interaction based on good faith and mutual respect.

3. Aboriginal people have a right to protect and manage the use of their cultural heritage and expression.
4. Aboriginal people have a right to benefits accruing from any activities that use their
cultural heritage and expression.
