In celebration of this year’s NAIDOC Week theme “Heal Country”, we are inviting young artists aged 6-16 years old, Australia-wide to create an original artwork that shares their culture, ceremony and spiritual connection to Country. The entry that best reflects the theme will receive a $500 Yarn voucher and have their design printed as a limited edition Yarn collection.

100% of the profits from the limited edition collection sales will go to the following non-profit organizations; ALNF (Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation), Nutrition Plus,  Gunawirra & Surat Aboriginal Corporation. Each of these organisations aims to improve the lives of Indigenous communities, specifically children and their families.

Title: Heal Country

Artist: Shenayah

Age: 14 years old

The black circles represent stars, the blue and purple side represents the galaxy, the pink represents the river. I like yellow flowers they make me feel warm and the kangaroo is one of the main animals in the Kimberley. I love horses and one day I want to work with them. The orange means dirt. The white means the wind and clouds. A healed country to me means the people and the land are free and happy. A healed country means thankful people helping the land and each other. A healed country is important so the world can be healthy.
