Book Description

Secondhand.Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Signed by Donny Woolagoodja.

The story of the people of the Wanjinas (or Wandjinas), and their unbroken living cosmology of Lalai - the Dreaming - is manifest most memorably in the dazzling giant designed by Donny Woolagoodja for the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympics.

It is also the story of Sam Woolagoodja, who was responsible for repainting the sacred Wanjinas in many of the rock shelters that dot the Kimberley landscape, and was among the first to paint the sacred stories on bark and wood for Worrorra children living far from their homelands. (back cover)

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers, please note that this book may contain descriptions and/or images of people who have passed away.
