En août 2024, le Garma festival, plus grand rassemblement autochtone d'Australie, s'est tenu en Terre d'Arnhem. Une occasion rare de s'immerger dans le monde aborigène Yolngu. Au nord du pays, depuis Darwin, pour accéder au Festival Garma, il faut soit faire 1 200 km de routes sur des pistes en terre rouge, muni de permis spécifiques, soit survoler les 700 km qui séparent la capitale du Territoire du Nord et Nhulunbuy, une ville construite dans les années 70 pour desservir une mine de Bauxite. Dans les deux cas, en arrivant, vous êtes dans l'un des coins les plus reculés d'Australie, mais surtout dans des terres de réserves très réglementées, soumises à autorisation spéciale pour les non-autochtones. Le Garma lui, permet cet accès, au cœur d'un rassemblement unique en son genre, initié par le peuple Yolngu et placé dans une vaste clairière cernée de forêts tropicales truffées d'eucalyptus, située sur une falaise surplombant la mer et des rivages escarpés et sauvages.Ici, c'est donc la terre ancestrale des Yolngu, un groupe aborigène qui, jusqu'au début du XXè siècle, vivait de manière relativement autonome, à l'écart de la brutale colonisation britannique. On parle d'une présence des Yolngu depuis plus de 60 000 ans. Contrairement à d'autres groupes aborigènes, les Yolngu n'ont pas été déplacés, arrachés à ce lien si puissant qui les relie à la terre et au fait de la parcourir. Ce qui fait la force de leur culture, de leur langue et dialectes, de leurs chants et de leurs danses qu'ils ont su maintenir à travers les millénaires et qui s'expriment pendant quatre jours au Garma. Véritables pionniers de la lutte pour les droits fonciers autochtones aborigènes, les Yolngu ont également su faire de cet évènement une tribune où se pressent désormais les hommes politiques australiens de tous bords.  En 2024, près de 3 000 visiteurs, dont la moitié non-aborigènes, se sont immergés dans ce monde peuplé de rêves, d'ancêtres créateurs, d'abeilles, de grues brolga ou de serpents arc-en-ciel ; au son du Yidaki ou Didjeridoo qui est né au nord-est de la Terre d'Arnhem. Un festival pour dire la fierté noire et autochtone, celle d'un peuple debout et maître chez lui. Un voyage sonore de Sophie Ansel. En savoir plus :- Sur le Garma Festival et la Yothu Hindi Foundation- Sur les Yolngu en images et en sons: le projet visuel Twelve canoes- Sur les Yolngu, le site du Musée National Australien.

Mokuhanga has the ability to take the artist or craftsperson anywhere they would like to be. From the subject matter in their studio to physical movement around the world, teaching, exploring, and discovering. Wonder and beauty is what makes mokuhanga so special.   In this episode of The Unfinished Print, I speak with printmaker Jacqueline Gribbin, who has spent years honing her craft in mokuhanga and other printmaking techniques across Japan, Southeast Asia, and Australia. We discuss her deep connection with Indigenous communities, collaborating with the late Ralph Kiggell, and exploring the nuances of water-based and oil-based mokuhanga. Jaqueline explains her experiences traveling to isolated communities, conducting workshops, and sharing her passion for printmaking. We'll explore her teaching methods, the importance of community in her work, and how she balances creating and selling her prints.   Please follow The Unfinished Print and my own mokuhanga work on Instagram @andrezadoroznyprints or email me at theunfinishedprint@gmail.com  Notes: may contain a hyperlink. Simply click on the highlighted word or phrase. Artists works follow after the note if available. Pieces are mokuhanga unless otherwise noted. Dimensions are given if known. Print publishers are given if known. Jacqueline Gribbin - website  Shifting Tides (2022) Nagasawa Art Park (MI Lab) Awaji City - Nagasawa Art Park was an artist-in-residence program located in Awaji City, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. It was open for 12 years before evolving into MI Lab in 2012. More info, here.    Keiko Kadota (1942-2017) - was the director of Nagasawa Art Park at Awaji City from 1997-2011, and then of MI Lab at Lake Kawaguchi from 2011 until her passing.   Toru Ueba - was a print instructor at Nagasawa Art Park, and was one of Yoonmi's instructors in 2004.   Ralph Kiggell (1960-2022) -  was one of the most important mokuhanga practitioners. Originally from England, Ralph lived and worked in Thailand. Ralph pushed the boundaries of mokuhanga with extremely large pieces, jigsaw carving, and by using fantastic colour. He also worked with the International Mokuhanga Conference to promote mokuhanga around the world. He will be greatly missed. Ralph's work can be found, here. His obituary in The Guardian can be found, here. His interview with The Unfinished Print can be found, here.     Orange Flower On Blue    Hiroki Satake - is a mokuhanga printmaker, and instructor based in Japan. He has taught at MI Lab, as well as given demonstrations regarding tool sharpening, around the world. Instagram   赤絵（アンドレ・マルティ「狼よ！」より) (2022) 34.7cm×28.4cm   registration - there are several registration methods in mokuhanga. The traditional method is called the kentō registration, where you carve two notches, straight another an "L." There is also a "floating kentō," which is where the notches are cut in a piece of "L" shaped wood and not on the wood where you are cutting your image, hence "floating." Lastly, there are removable "pins," such as ones made by Ternes Burton.    bokashi - is a mokuhanga technique, where the pigment fades from a heavy colour to a softer, broad colour. Made famous by prints designed by Hokusai and Hiroshige, this technique is, for me, the most popular technique utilized by  mokuhanga printmakers. There are various types: Ichimoji-bokashi or straight line graduation, used in the above mentioned Hiroshige and Hokusai prints. Ichimoji-mura-bokashi or straight line gradation with uneven edge. Ō-bokashi or wide gradation, Ate-nashi-bokashi or gradation without definition. Futa-iro-bokashi or two tone gradation, and ita-bokashi or softer-edge gradation, where the block is cut in a specific way to achieve this style of gradation. All of these styles of bokashi technique take practice and skill but are very much doable. Below is a fine example of bokashi by Paul Binnie:     The Torii Gate at Miyajima (2009) 37.5 x 26cm sizing paper - at times mokuhanga printmakers will size their paper. Size is made from water, animal glue (rabbit, horse), and alum. What the size does is keep the pigments the artist uses from “bleeding” into the outer edges of the paper. There are many recipes of size, here is one that artist Walter J. Phillips used.   intaglio printing - is a printing method, also called etching, using metal plates such as zinc, and copper, creating “recessed” areas which are printed with ink on the surface of these "recesses.” More info, here. The MET has info, here.     serigraphy - is another word for the art of silk screen printing. Silk screen printing can be in on various materials, silk, canvas, paper.    lithography: A printing process where images are transferred onto a surface using a flat plate or stone.   Yoshitaka Amano (b. 1952) - is a character designer for the Final Fantasy video game series. He uses ukiyo-e and Japanese woodblock prints as insirpation for some of his work.    Takashi Murakami (b. 1962) is a contemporary artist best known for his fine art works and contributions to the commercial market. His works are heavily influenced by manga and anime, characterized by their bright colors and distinctive style. Multicolour Superflat Flowers - archival pigment print, silkscreen, 45 cm x 17.7cm   Margaret Thatcher 1925-2013) -  was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the office and remains one of the most influential figures in British political history. Leading the Conservative Party, Thatcher implemented a series of economic policies known as "Thatcherism," which emphasized deregulation, privatization of state-owned industries, and reducing the power and influence of trade unions. Her tenure was marked by significant economic transformation, as well as controversial measures that sparked widespread debate and protest.    Tamarind Institute - was originally founded in Los Angeles in 1960 by June Wayne, and is a world renowned center for fine art lithography. Established to revive and sustain the art of lithography, which was in decline in the United States, Tamarind quickly became a leader in the education and promotion of lithographic techniques. In 1970, the institute moved to the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, where it continues to thrive as a key institution in the printmaking world. Dedicated to advancing the lithographic arts through rigorous education, collaborative projects, and the production of high-quality prints, the Tamarind Institute's influence extends globally, contributing significantly to the development and appreciation of lithography as a vibrant art form.

Tammy Lee Rock is an award-winning actor, playwright, director and trailblazer. Her one-woman show, I don’t wanna play house, has the honour of being Australia’s longest running show which explores: poverty, racism, physical and emotional violence, child abuse, displacement and trauma. Tammy says this show is a “human story” that echoes with people regardless of race, nationality or culture. “What comes from the heart, goes to the heart. “I’m just telling a story, not realising the impact and the resonance around the globe. So everywhere I travel [people say] ‘oh that’s my story’, even in non-English speaking countries.” Throughout the conversation, Tammy and Angus discuss the importance of controlling the narrative of Indigenous people. Tammy says, “we’re tired of other people coming into our cultural space and telling our stories.” “When you put a black person from Nhulunbuy in a Tasmanian story, I don’t see me. I see a Nhulunbuy person telling my story.” This conversation goes deep into racial politics and what it means to be defined by your ancestry. This episode contains strong language and discusses sexual abuse and other themes graphic in nature.

He was born and raised in Nhulunbuy until his teen years. Like many parents in the region, Arian's father's sent him to boarding school to try and give him the best education possible.

"We don't see people on their best day, we usually see people on the worst day of their life."Growing up on a sheep and cattle station, Daniel Whitfield Jones is no stranger to hard work. His upbringing in the Outback combined with his time at a regimented boarding school has ingrained his disciplined and strong work ethic. So it was inevitable he would eventually enlist in the military.In this episode Dan shares with us his experiences from serving overseas, the struggles which he and many ex service personnel face, and how the upcoming arrival of his first child saw him leave his dream of becoming a career soldier. Letting go of a job you've worked years to reach as well as the financial stress of a baby on the way is no easy feat. To make matters harder, although he had a lot of life experience - Dan had nothing on paper which made him professionally employable. What he did have was a desire to continue to protect the community - naturally the police force became the next obvious choice. Since then, Dan and his family have been moving around the country for his work - which eventually lead them here to Nhulunbuy.Police often get a negative wrap - there is no denying there are "bad apples" out there. However in life I believe/hope the good out number the bad - and after getting to know Dan, or Senior Sergeant Daniel Whitfield Jones over the past year, I personally feel confident we've got the good guys working on our side.It was an absolute pleasure to have Dan come in for a chat. He speaks honestly about his experiences and touches on a lot of important subjects. This conversation really opened my eyes on a lot of things. I hope you get as much out of it as I did.CreditsHost: Monika O'HanlonSpecial thanks to Daniel Whitfield Jones Thanks to Gove FMhttps://www.facebook.com/govefm/https://www.instagram.com/govefm/GET IN TOUCHPhone: 0490 688 023Email: monika_ohanlon@hotmail.com

Looking at the work of the Holy Spirit through the whole Bible and in the story of our lives.

Jesus prays for his disciples in John 17. Jesus asks a lot from us - but that's exactly why he prays for us each and every day.

What is love? The whole concept of love comes alive when Jesus speaks to his disciples in John's gospel.

Jesus is our Good Shepherd - he lays down his life for us. We don't have to fear. And we are called to lay down our life for others.

An Easter message - Jesus appearing to the disciples, the road to Emmaeus

Sifa sharing about Jesus' appearance to the disciples after his resurrection. His commission to them, Thomas's doubts, and the meaning of the Gospel.

A message for Lent from John 12:20-33. The cross is the central moment of all history, and as Jesus is lifted up on the cross he draws all people to himself. Will we loosen our grip on the life that we love, and throw ourselves into following Jesus?
