Product details
Tiger
Snake evokes the
experiences of an Australian Aboriginal woman around the time of
Australian Federation in 1901. The text comes from a poem written
by Aboriginal poet Lisa Bellear, who met with the composer to
discuss aspects of Australian Federation and what it meant for
Aboriginal people. It explores both the uplifting experience of
connection to family and land, and the trauma of dispossession,
disease and violence.
