‘Community Gathering’ Artwork Description
Zartisha’s artwork, titled “Community Gathering,” beautifully encapsulates the essence of coming together. Using the imagery of Shell Middens, she illustrates the importance of community, shared experiences, and the act of gathering.
The artwork represents meeting circles where people come together to share food, stories, and language, symbolizing learning and connection. The dots in the corners signify everyone’s footprints on their journey to the gathering place, as well as the unique paths each individual takes. The individual midden circles reflect smaller meeting places and yarning circles that punctuate the journey, ultimately leading to the larger gathering at the centre.
For Zartisha, these middens are a powerful representation of her rich cultural heritage along the coastlines, embodying themes of stewardship, teamwork, and a deep care for both country and community. Her work not only celebrates the past but also invites future generations to engage in meaningful dialogue and connection.
