Sunset Sisters – paliti aura (good spirit aura)
Bianca Templar and Jasmine Mansell 2021.

We are proud palawa luna’s (aboriginal women). We work together to tell stories through digital art, created from acrylic paintings. Although a variety of different guiding methods are depicted in the painting, paliti aura represents how our old people used stars in the night sky to guide them. Sadly, the meanings of the Petroglyphs were lost due to colonisation. The Petroglyphs shown in this painting by the Sunset Sisters, represents our old people. The sun, moon and stars were used for navigation, as a seasonal calendar and to tell the tides. Telling the tides is an important aspect of Tasmanian Aboriginal knowledge, as it tells us when the best time is to collect shells. Shells for necklace making and bull kelp for basket making. The Sunset Sisters acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this land, Elders past, present and emerging.

Zoodoo acknowledges the Palawa people of Lutruwita, Tasmania, and pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging. We recognise the Traditional Owners of the area, particularly the Mumirimina people of Oyster Bay territory who have cared for this Country for thousands of years.

We recognise the truth of the impacts of invasion and colonisation upon Aboriginal people, resulting in the forcible removal from their lands. Zoodoo stands for a future that profoundly respects and acknowledges Aboriginal perspectives, culture, language and history as well as a continued effort to fight for Aboriginal justice and rights, paving the way for a strong future.
