Blakademy Art Program presents:
Colectiva Abya Yala in collaboration with Kathleen Gonzalez gathered to celebrate the return of the sun, weaving a heartfelt ritual to honour the land and its cycles. The winter solstice has been celebrated by communities and cultures from the southern hemisphere since immemorial times. The gathering weaved threads between lands in the South, intertwining ‘Sur-Sur’ dialogues. Through the sharing of music, food, thoughts, caring and intentions around the fire, they put together a meaningful offering to the Pacha Mama. In circle, they braided their hair as roots braiding themselves, as sisters from Latin America inhabiting unceded Wurundjeri Land, inviting voices from the land, as plants climbing up to the light.
Bringing back to memory those days when we learned
That the land that gave us birth
it's the one to celebrate.
The return of the sun
ceases with the darkness.
Light inside of us
Light for our gardens.
The music is about to start
and the body needs to dance.
Through stories and prayers
flourishing in trance.
Gather for the harvest
and sitting by the fire
The feast has started
our spirits rising higher.
'Around the Fire’. Colectiva de Abya Yala will be hosting a Winter Solstice Celebration offering a caring space to open dialogues with the broad community around the subjects of rituals, poetry, music, dance and food.

Synopsis — 10 year old Dujuan is a child-healer, a good hunter and speaks three languages. As he shares his wisdom of history and the complex world around him we see his spark and intelligence. Yet Dujuan is ‘failing’ in school and facing increasing scrutiny from welfare and the police. As he travels perilously close to incarceration, his family fight to give him a strong Arrernte education alongside his western education lest he becomes another statistic.
We walk with him as he grapples with these pressures, shares his truths and somewhere in-between finds space to dream, imagine and hope for his future self.

Synopsis — Director Florian Habicht returns to his Northland home turf to chronicle the annual Snapper Classic Fishing Contest, in this full-length documentary. First prize is $50,000, but the participants chase the joy of the cast as much as the purse.
The solitary figures on the epic sweep of Ninety Mile Beach provide poetic images, as Habicht teases out homespun philosophy while fishing for answers on love, the afterlife and whether fish have feelings. The soundtrack features 50s style instrumentals from Habicht regular Marc Chesterman, plus singalongs on the sand and at the local pub.
