Icon & Proverb
The landscape catchment feeding a river at sunrise or sunset evokes a world defined by edges. The proverb “don’t think you are on the right track just because its a well-beaten path” reminds us that the most common, obvious and popular is not necessarily the most significant or influential.
Photo Story
This anti-uranium protest in a Darwin mall in Northern Australia in 1997 was the beginning of actions that later involved thousands around the country with hundreds of arrests. In this silent action activists lay in the mall, their outlines traced with chalk, reminiscent of the ‘shadows of Hiroshima’.
The Jabiluka Uranium mine lies within the ecological boundaries of the Kakadu National Park World Heritage area, on land belonging to the Mirrar Aboriginal people, who steadfastly opposed the mine. Rehabilitation works to close the mine commenced in 2003 and in 2005 traditional owners were given veto rights over future developments at the site.
The social fringe is where people can express themselves in creative ways to get important messages across.
