The Clouds Have Stories - The Art of the Torres Strait Islands from Daniel Marsden on Vimeo.
Wow.
Its so beautiful. That pretty much sums it up, I can't really express how valuble a culture like this one is, it is something that it worth the world to strive to maintain! The imagery, the dance, the values of this culture are something that I am 'jealous' of, coming from the white western culture.
The physical creation of the Australian and Torres Strait Islands is so stunning, I can completely understand the significance it would have in a culture that has been here for so long!
For some reason it makes me feel blessed to live in this country, with the stunning surroundings and the access to a culture that almost revolves completely around their creation beliefs.
I come from a Christian point of veiw, and I am abuntantly inspired by Indigenous culture. The importance that they place on their spirituality, beliefs and values is something that I wish to be as open with. Maybe I should take by their ideas and explore, share, excite and stand firm in my faith as well.
