Aboriginal Songline Ceremony in Sydney Shrine

by Albert Franklin

Predawn darkness fills a shrine lined with rows of warm tungsten lanterns, casting a soft amber glow on the red desert floor beneath. Aboriginal figures stand in a tight circle, their skin catching the low window light that falls through high openings. Cool season air settles over the scene, visible in the slight breath of the participants and the heavy drapery of their earth-toned garments. Dramatic clouds press against the sky outside the lantern-lit space, contrasting the intimate gathering with the vastness beyond. Dust motes hang suspended in the light beams, settling on rough-hewn stone walls and the polished wood of ceremonial objects resting on the ground. One shadow stretches long across the red earth, anchored by the edge of a woven basket.
