Indigenous Australian Artwork
Title: Kangaroo Badagarang Jack
Artist: M.J. Badagarang
The 'Kangaroo Badagarang Jack’ artwork was created by Indigenous Australian artist M.J. Badagarang from the ‘Dharug Nation’ in Sydney, Australia.
“The traditional name for a kangaroo in Dharug Country is ‘Badagarang’, this is my totem animal that I must always protect and cherish. The kangaroo is a strong, native Australian animal and is considered to be very family orientated. The blue, navy and white lines featured in the artwork represent the rivers in Australia. Rivers are important to us as traditional people as it provides life to ‘Country’. In my culture, the term ‘Country’ refers to people, animals, place and land. The aqua blue dots that form small circles represent communities, signifying the 250 Aboriginal Countries that make up Australia. The white dots connect us all, as one people. No matter where you come from, I acknowledge you and thank you for visiting the stories my old people left us. Let’s walk together.” M.J. Badagarang.
