Phone & Spear
In the old days Yolŋu went everywhere with their spears. My father always carried his. These days every Yolŋu has a phone.

Phone & Spear is a co-authored book that invites you into an Aboriginal art of connection—even on the days you feel like smashing your sim card with a rock.
Through phone-made images, photo collage, layered texts and family voices, our book shows how digital media can renew relations with kin and Country.
