we have not word for safety / only protection

Indigenous Australians and Palestinians have a long history of solidarity as people living under colonial occupation. 

The repeating diamond- Murruwaygu in Wiradjuri- is a motif shared among many Indigenous tribes of  south-eastern Austrlalia. This pattern is typically found on shields, possum skin cloaks, and dendroglyphs (scarred trees). The repeating diamond is also present on the fringes of the Keffiyeh. A sacred relationship to pattern and adornment is one of many things that Aboriginal and Arab cultures share, along with our long struggles against occupation and genocide. 

The title of this work references a line from Tyson Yunkaports’a 2019 book Sand Talk: how Indigenous thinking can save the world
