![𝘉𝘶𝘬𝘶-𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘮𝘪𝘳𝘳 means joining together. When Yolŋu use this term they point to the potential for people to come together without denying the differences that define us.
& this Friday we’ll be doing just that.
In all the excitement of winning the Gregory Bateson Book Award, we almost forgot to also celebrate our next webinar!
On Friday, Paul Gurrumuruwuy & Jennifer Deger will be in conversation with Paul Carter & Steven Feld about the art of joining together & why we need a Yuta [new] Anthropology.
Join us from 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm (AUS Eastern Daylight Savings Time), 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗡𝗼𝘃 𝟭𝟯, . Register through the link in our bio.
A special thank you to Dr. Melinda Hinkson & the Institute of Postcolonial Studies for hosting us.](https://miyarrkamedia.com/wp-content/uploads/sb-instagram-feed-images/124385631_1310728875962489_5066335385380500139_nfull.jpg)
![Warren explains the image behind the design for our talk with @charlesdarwinuniversity :
“Here I am dancing at my father’s funeral, showing myself as Wurrumba with a shark liver in my mouth. The fat [liver] tells about the 𝘸𝘢𝘬𝘶 born from Gurruwiwi people.
The four sharks represent the mother Wurrumba. Wurrumba lives in the clear, shallow water. That water calls himself 𝘨𝘢𝘱𝘶 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘵𝘫𝘢𝘭𝘬. Underneath this water lives Witij, the rainbow serpent. If you watch carefully, when you see that shark moving in the water you will see the rainbow colours.
The stars here are the glistening water, the same effect as the light that dapples and shines on the shark’s head from the water.”
_Warren Balpatji

It is the colour of guku [bush honey], the colour of the ga ayka’ stringy bark tree.”
