Aboriginal
art are sculptures by burning something on wood, or objects, but the
Aborigines also make paintings and costumes for
ceremonies.
Aboriginal art is what's left of their culture and it
is always linked to a territory. They sing dance and mime, make
paintings to celebrate the ceremony. They use paint to express
themselves in difficult or happy moments.
The
ancestral spirits (the gods who first appeared on the Earth)
communicate with them by new songs, paintings, dancing, dreams.
The
creation of a school of Warmun in the Kimberley region allows
Aborigines to exorcise the memory of unpunished massacres perpetrated
by white farmers.
Most
often described as "Lonka Lonka", wide-pearl shells are
carved into figurative or abstract patterns. They can suggest in some
cases, sacred routes of Tingari men at the heart of the desert, the
zigzags of thunder and rain, dream of the Min-Nimb whale, the
movement of water, the effects of tides, traces left on the low-water
sand or symbolic movements of a snake on the floor. The use of flint
and metal tools with the arrival of Westerners on the continent, has
refined the patterns on the nacre. These objects, from the Kimberley
region near the coast in Broome, were exported across the continent.
The shells were worn around the neck or as a loincloth, all adjusted
to the body using a braided hair cord.
