Underpinned by the Gamilaraay language idiom, may your shadow never be less – Baluwaalwadhaay nginda malawil gaay gigi – artists Jayden Kitchener-Waters, Odee Welsh, Christopher Orchard, and Timothy Crutchett present a series of Gamilaraay language vignettes celebrating the strength of the Ancestors, and the vitality of everyday life on the Galala. For Gamilaraay, our shadow, malawil, is an inalienable part of who we are, and keeping our shadow healthy and well is critical to maintaining our spiritual and holistic wellbeing. Each short vignette offers a constantly regenerating set of ongoing transforming relationships, rippling across time as a series of continuous rehearings. Every sentence in the work speaks directly to the importance of winangali and winangay – knowing, honouring, remembering, thinking, understanding, loving, hearing and listening – as reflections on ways to ensure a continuity of strength into the future and as a way to ensure our Ancestors' shadows never become less.

 

Marandu dhawun maarumadhiiylanhi.
Baluwaalwadhaay ganunga malawil gaay gigi

The old people cared for Country.
May their shadow never be less.
