#PARTITION

These images shows a map of Australia divided into two symbolic halves. The left side features the Australian flag, representing the colonial and modern Australian nation-state. The right side is decorated in the style of the Aboriginal flag, with red, yellow, and black dot painting and a central yellow circle, reflecting Aboriginal culture, land, and identity. The word "#PARTITION" below the image suggests a call to discuss or consider the idea of partitioning Australia-symbolically or politically-between the settler state and Aboriginal sovereignty or self-determination. From an Aboriginal perspective, this image is a powerful statement about the ongoing struggle for recognition, land rights, and self-governance. It visually represents the divide between the colonial structures imposed on our Country and the enduring presence and rights of First Nations peoples. The use of both flags highlights the tension and the conversation around how we share, govern, and respect this land. The hashtag "#PARTITION" is used to raise awareness and spark yarns (conversations) about these issues, possibly imagining a future where Aboriginal people have greater autonomy or even separate governance over our traditional lands..
