A message from the artist:
Rusinya 'Ruby' Brooks is a poet at heart, a storyteller, an artist from Pajuwapura Country, and a participant at the Talent Pathways Program with the ILF. Hear about her artwork, her inspirations, and what culture means to her below.
About the artwork, shared by the artist:
The Dreaming of the Rainbow Serpent is a story told by many First Nations people of this land.
Like the Rainbow Serpent of our Dreaming, we as a people have adapted to new challenges, to new climates, to new ways of living while remaining true to ourselves and our cultures. The Rainbow Serpent makes their way through the saltwater and the freshwater; through the sky and the lands. In this way, too, we as a people have navigated our way through various changes and have found ways to overcome those challenges and to prosper.
Just like 50 Years of Deadly at the 2026 NAIDOC Week, at its heart, the Dreaming of the Rainbow Serpent is a story, and a reminder, that after all this time we are still here, that we are strong, that our stories of home, our love for our homelands, and of us as a people, will remain.
All profits from this initiative go directly back into Indigenous Literacy Foundation programs, strengthening opportunities for emerging artists across remote Communities.
