This is a painting about women’s ceremony. Women paint their bodies using ochre found in the earth and river beds. The designs they paint on their bodies can tell a story about their dreaming or their country.
This tradition has been practiced for many generations. Older women teach the younger ones how to paint and what the patterns mean. This helps keep culture strong.
