I was in a hotel in Sydney, trying to shake off jetlag before heading to Darwin the next day. I felt a little like I had left my brain somewhere over the Pacific. I\u2019d texted Will Stubbs, Coordinator of the Buku-Larr\u014bgay Mulka Centre to let him know I had arrived in the country. It was a pleasant surprise to get a call a few minutes later with such momentous news\u2014Djambawa Marawili was the winner of the 2019 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award. Will was sharing this top secret information, not just because I was a card carrying member of the Djambawa Marawili fan club, but because the painting that had won the award had been commissioned by Kluge-Ruhe for <em>Ma\u1e0fayin <\/em>and was created in response to his multiple visits to the USA. Titled <em>Journey to America, <\/em>the work shows B\u00e4ru, the ancestral crocodile-man bringing fire into the waters at Yathikpa. The fire crescendos up the bark, crossing oceans to meet the Statue of Liberty. In the lower corner, the coat of arms of Australia is also shown. Speaking on the work, he said: \u201c Everyone can see that I have confidence I have to carry in my soul and in my blood, to reach out to another nation, to another world, with our sorrow, with our love peace and joy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can watch Djambawa speak about the work here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Telstra Art Award Winner | Djambawa Marawili AM interview\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v37_o_0iL5o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cYou are not to tell another soul.\u201d \u201cNot Margo, not Kade, not even your wife.\u201d \u201cAh, ok?\u201d \u201cI\u2019m serious.
