'Dubay Jagun' Women on Country cushion

This beautiful striking artwork is by Bundjalung artist Holly Sanders.

This piece titled ‘Dubay Jagun’ Women on Country represents women on country.

For thousands of generations, women have guided and supported each other on country. Women have carried our dreaming, songlines, languages, bush food and medicine knowledge.
This has kept our culture strong and enriched us as the oldest continuing culture on the planet.
Women possess a detailed knowledge of our local environment knowing which plants hold food, and medicinal properties, how to use them and where to find them. Women are educators, instilling in their Jarjums (children) the knowledge of how to locate, gather, prepare food and care for country.
