I would love to see everyone’s art/writing/song making for the General Strike if you’re comfortable with it : )
i made this quickly; i’m not very good at traditional art, but, in summary:
on my father’s side, i am of the darumbal nation in what is now called queensland. in this image, the river separates the darumbal people on one side from the white settlers on the other side. during early settlement, we were curfewed to one side of the river running through our homeland. the settlers would massacre us for fun, for sport, steal our children, and forcibly displace us. we were decimated and our language was almost destroyed. but we survive.
from the river to the sea has been called genocidal, antisemitic, and violently suppressed. but i know the call for liberation it really is. it’s a call for liberation every dispossessed and colonized people knows. someday, soon, palestine will be free from the river to the sea. and so will my homeland, darumbal nation. it is one struggle, one fight.
