Yaliwunga (Always)

Reflecting on 50 years of NAIDOC—50 Years of Deadly—this artwork draws on the continual movement of water as a powerful metaphor. It illustrates yaliwunga in the act of the tide, always returning, always showing up, always doing the work. The piece serves as a visual call to action, urging ongoing calls for change with the bare minimum of respect, and, recognition across the broader landscape of this country. Like the tide’s constant presence, mob continue to show up—always in motion, always coming together, always working towards sustaining the currents of voice, treaty, and truth within the national conversation. Through renewal, transformation, and adaptability, we mirror the tide itself: restless yet resilient, enduring and powerful. Yaliwunga nguwa, yaliwunga dhirrabuu (always here, always deadly)

Leah Brideson

I am Leah. I am an Aboriginal woman born in Canberra, ACT. My mob are Kamilaroi from my Grandmothers country in the Gunnedah region. I am a self-taught Contemporary Aboriginal Artist and began painting at a very young age. I have been painting in a professional capacity for over 7 years.

"Art is such an important platform to share my culture with the wider community. My art is like a 'visual yarn', people really connect with the stories and meaning behind the work".

A great deal of my artistic vision and inspiration comes from the changing landscapes in my home town, on country and from my journeys to ocean country and beyond. I use layers of fine dotting, line work, colour gradients, Aboriginal symbolism and my signature style of 'cracked earth' landscape throughout my paintings. Kamilaroi country is often dry and cracked, but rich and deep in history, culture and story as represented by the space in between the cracked earth. I pay great attention to detail, natural patterns, light, shade and texture in the landscape.

My paintings often work between two perspectives; landscape and birds-eye view. Through a birds-eye view, I generally map the journeys in which I take, along with my ancestral and cultural ties. As I learn more about my culture and discover my ancestors’ footprints in the landscape, I feel the urge to paint my story, my sense of place.
