see of hands Atilla MERT

The Sea of Hands is recognised by hundreds of thousands of Australians as a symbol of the people's movement for rights-based reconciliation. It was ANTaR’s first public event, staged to protest against the Federal Government's proposed changes to the Native Title Act. 70,000 plastic hands in six colours, each one carrying one signature from a petition in support of native title and reconciliation, were installed in front of Parliament House in Canberra in October 1997. The six colours of the Sea of Hands represent the colours of the Aboriginal flag (red, black and yellow), the Torres Strait Islander flag (blue, green and white), and the Australian flag. Each Sea of Hands installation is a unique event, and wherever possible, is designed by a local Indigenous artist, using symbols and themes appropriate to the Indigenous traditions of that region.


- réconciliation fondée sur les droits

- 70000 mains en plastique de six couleurs


- Les six couleurs de la mer de mains représentent les couleurs du drapeau aborigène (rouge, noir et jaune), le pavillon des îles du détroit de Torres (bleu, vert et blanc), et le drapeau australien.


my opinion:


I think this organization Antar is very useful because it is humanitarian . Its goal is to assist Aboriginals
and
I think the film Rabbit Proof Fence is very interesting because we can observe in which conditions aboriginal used to live.
