Songlines - Hughie Ahwon

$9,900.00

This painting represents and tells the story of existing tribes throughout most of Australia. It's the story of each tribes boundary and how they integrate with neighbouring clans through song and dance, trade, storytelling, tribal marriage arrangements and cultural knowledge sharing. Each tribe has a song and dance for their respected geographical boundaries, where it starts to where it ends. This system and practice is in place in most but not all tribes in Australia. - Hughie Ahwon
