“Get out of my head.”

He finds Hange sitting on the lone couch across the fireplace, and Levi knows that words will always betray him, but he still tries.

"Oi, Hange---" He leans against the door to close it, and Hange turns their head to face him. "The brats were looking for you this morning."

"Oh, were they?" Hange scratches their head. "Sorry about that, I was helping out Onyankopon in categorizing the new books from Marley. We still have a few to shelve."

Levi strides across the vast space of the reading room, right where Hange is seated on the couch in front of the fireplace. There's a book propped open on their lap, their fingers picking their bottom lip as they read in silence.

"Your new stash?" Levi gestures towards the pile of hardbound on the floor right by Hange's foot. Hange smiles for an answer, and Levi doesn't dare tell them how he likes to see that expression on their face.

"I've been reading, and... you know..." Hange flips to the next page, not taking their eyes off it. "I wish we've had read more of these, instead of military tactics and battle plans."

"Poetry?"

"Yeah."

He finds a spot beside her, his weight sinking into the seat. He swings his leg over the other and dangles his arm over the back of the couch. Maybe he can spare some time to learn something of Hange's interest. Levi leans toward them to get a glimpse of what they've been so into lately, but the words are too deep, too metaphorical for him to grasp. Nevertheless, he tries to keep the conversation going. "What's your fave?"

Hange marks the page they've been reading and proceeds to flip to the first part of the book. "Here," Hange says. They hold it out for Levi to see but he merely shakes his head.

"You might as well read it for me, those words are hard to understand as shit."

"Oh. I'm probably the worst person to do that," Hange chuckles. "They need to be read with clarity and emotion, you know?"

"I don't mind." He swipes the strands of hair that have fallen in front of his eyes. "I'd rather hear it in your voice regardless."

When he says this, they look at him intently. Hange lets the silence stir for a moment, pondering about what to do, or how they would do it. Before they put the book back on their lap, Hange clears their throat and places a finger on the first line of the poem. "Get out of my head, you said to me," Hange starts, their voice low, eyes flickering once into Levi's vacant expression and then back into the page, "While tossing and turning in your sleep, but I have no intention in leaving---"

He inches closer to Hange, one arm still resting along the back of the couch towards them. "Go ahead." The nearness of him to Hange only makes him crave for more of their presence.

"I shall continue invading your most private memories. I shall know everything about you, as soon as the sun mounts the sky---" Hange's lips quiver as they put every effort in filling their voice with emotion. And Levi sits their in his silence, watching Hange in awe.

"You're the strongest and your weaknesses..." Hange takes a deep breath, "knowing every detail of your heart's secret wishes---why does such a thing matter?"

He wants to ask, Why indeed? but knows better to let Hange continue instead.

"I bet you wonder as you dream of my invasion. Well I'm just searching for the truth. If you truly, really," Hange pauses, and they catch Levi's gaze with the final line, "...do love me."

Hange looks away for a moment, unable to read his reaction. But they are taken aback when Levi puts an arm around Hange and pulls them closer to him.

"Again," he whispers, squeezing Hange by the shoulder. He tucks a loose strand of hair behind their ear before they start over.

"Get out of my head, you said to me," Hange tries again, their heart beating wilder than ever. Levi presses his lips to Hange's forehead while they read through the lines once more in the stillness of the library. "I shall know everything about you, as soon as the sun mounts the sky---"

Hange doesn't even finish when Levi gently tilts their chin towards him. He looks into their eyes and kisses Hange on the lips. Hange trembles in his arms, but somehow, they're glad that these words, although borrowed, were able to send across the message that Hange has been wanting him to know.

-------

The poem is called "Get Out of My Head" by Guinevere Eveleigh. Anachronistic, but do I care? No. It might as well be Hange's confession to Levi. i am weak for spoken word poetry so somebody please read this drabble out loud

Hello! For the Fanfic End of the Year Asks—could you answer numbers 1, 3, 11, 12, 14, 19, 23, and 24, please? With the many works you have mentioned so far, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

1. Favorite fic you wrote this year

Okay so I think that would have to be Avalon’s story, Falling in Temptation. I published it 2 years ago but I started writing more of its chapters this year and I just loved going off through the comics to get new stories to write! The Sapling and the Scream?? Loved writing all that! Plus, the fairy tale vibe is one of my favorite things about the fic!

3. Favorite line/scene you wrote this year

Ooooh that’s a hard one. I think that would have to be from Renata’s story, The Beginning of Everything, specifically the chapter ‘Marchioness of Gallifrey’. THIS scene basically. I don’t know why but I just love the way it came out. (I really think this is where my writing sort of had development I don’t know)

Suddenly, Renata saw them running down the hallway of the academy after nearly getting caught wandering through the classes and prohibited rooms for students. And it made her hearts sore. She felt as carefree as she used to be with the Doctor as Zuriah. They were young, they were full of adrenaline and...they were in love.

Even the Doctor got the faint sense that this was all familiar, a bit too familiar, but the running made him push the thought to the side for now. He yanked Renata down the hallway of her bedroom and finally slowed down.

"That was incredible!" Renata was laughing melodically beside him. She brought a hand up to her hair bun that was on the verge of falling apart from all their running. She yelped in surprise when the Doctor gently brought her from her side to his front. Her free hand had come to rest over his chest and her other hand seemed locked under the Doctor's free hand.

"You had fun?" the Doctor asked quietly though with his ragged breathing it came out a little louder than intended. They were both still trying to catch their breaths, they could feel it. Renata felt the Doctor's chest heaving up and down under her hand and since Renata's chest was pressed to his, the Doctor could feel her own heavy breathing.

"Of course..." Renata swallowed down and laughed, hoping the air would fill her lungs soon. "I always have fun with you!" She had no idea what her words meant to the Doctor, especially right now. All she saw was his grin making its mark on his face. "Maybe tomorrow we can, uh, I can show you the, uh...the..." She was beginning to lose her train of thought the more she stared at the Doctor.

Yet another thing he used to do during their adventures back then.

11. Fandom you enjoyed writing for the most this year

Odd as it was, it’s Graciela Haynez story Redemption. I wrote her story during quarantine and I think it was the last full fic I finished before I went back to work in June. I think it’s because Legends focuses on so many people unlike in the Flash (and Supergirl for that matter). I got to write Graciela developing friendships with almost everyone on the show. Plus, she’s a well known baddie so that gave a LOT to write for.

12. Favorite character to write about this year

Back and forth on this one but I’m gonna go with Renata again. She’s the first Time Lady OC I wrote and I felt like I made her way more different than the previous OC, Minerva, and way more than Avalon. Renata’s uptight personality is just too much fun to write next to the Doctor’s personality.

14. A fic you didn’t expect to write

Okay so this was Seren Soul’s fic (a Steve x OC fic) for sure. It’s pretty obvious that I fell deep into the Marvel hole and she’s the first OC with a 2 full stories drafted under her name for the fandom. She kind of snuck up on me because I started kind of slowly on developing her but the more I’ve gone through, the more she’s gotten my heart. As someone calls her (not Steve though), she’s my little star soul.

19. Any new fics to start next year

I have PLANS (that I really hope to go through with). Like I said, I’m writing for Seren and her story will hopefully go up in Spring (for the Avengers movie).

Next, I really want to publish Aitana’s story (Criminal Minds) and I’m planning to once I finish writing at least one season, this being season 6 so that I know where I’m going to take the story by that point. But I’m super excited cos I just figured out the title of the fic eee!

After those two, I would want to try the other FlashxOC fic I have with the OC Natalie Eveleigh. I’d really like to cos it would be semi-AU starting in season 4!

23. Fics you wanted to write but didn’t

I tried writing a B99 story but for some reason I can’t sit down to do it. Maybe I’d do some one-shots but I don’t foresee myself writing a full story fic :/

24. Favorite fic you read this year

SO MANY. I love reading Burn by raging-violets! And I also really love As the Sky May Fall by EirylsLavellan on fanfic. net !

THANKS FOR THE NUMBERS!!!! :D

Fanfic end of the year asks

This Day in Julie-history: Madame Lilian Stiles-Allen was born on 28 July 1890

This week marks the 130th anniversary of the birth of Lilian Stiles-Allen, the woman who taught Julie Andrews how to sing. A celebrated soprano in her own right, Stiles-Allen was a renowned interpreter of lieder and oratorio during the inter-war years with a voice that “was much admired for its sweetness, range, and dramatic power” (Bradford, 17).

Though not physically suited to the opera stage, Stiles-Allen performed widely in concert and recital in major venues with a particular emphasis on the English classical repertoire of Handel, Sargent, Beecham and Coleridge-Taylor. She was the original Nokomis in Coleridge-Taylor’s Hiawatha and a regular soloist at the Sir Henry Wood Promenade Concerts and the annual Handel Festival at the Crystal Palace. Stiles-Allen also enjoyed a solid career as a radio and recording artist, notably under contract to the Edison Bell label where she recorded both under her own name and the pseudonym of Linda Hynd (Williams, 161-63).

By the time of the Second World War, Stiles-Allen had largely retired from public performance and it was then that she turned her creative energies to teaching, a role she would embrace with gusto well into old age (Dawson, 17). Her list of students over the years included many notables of the British musical world such as Anne Ziegler, Aileen Cochrane, and Margaret Burton (Dawson, 17; Williams, 162). Without doubt, her most famous protégé, and the one she herself counted as her greatest teaching triumph, was “the phenomenal Julie Andrews” (”Teacher,” 20; Williams, 163).

Julie started studying under Stiles-Allen when she was just 9 years old at the behest of her step-father, Ted Andrews, who had himself taken lessons with the teacher soon after arriving in the UK from Canada (Andrews 2008, 48). Much has been made of the enormous influence Stiles-Allen had on the voice and singing style of "her star pupil”, not least by Julie herself who has repeatedly credited “Madame,” as she always called her, with the foundational hallmarks of her distinctive vocal technique:

“From when I was age 9 until the day she died in 1982, she was my singing teacher and taught me good diction, placement, everything. A wonderful lady and a huge mentor” (Andrews 2019: 16).

For her part, Stiles-Allen recalled:

”The range, accuracy and tone of Julie’s voice amazed me. All her life, I discovered, she possessed the rare gift of absolute pitch, which means that she cannot sing out of tune. I make it a rule as a singing teacher to get three octaves in all voices. Julie, as a little girl and right up to the age of fourteen, had a most unusual four-octave range, from two Cs above Alt. right down to two Cs below middle C. She had absolute confidence in her voice and in me” (cited in Cottrell, 34).

Right throughout her childhood and adolescence, Julie trained regularly with Madame to develop her voice and singing skills: first, at a studio in London and, then, at Stiles-Allen’s rambling country home in Headingley, just outside Leeds in Yorkshire. Due to the latter’s distance from London, Julie would typically journey up by rail and stay with Madame for the weekend and sometimes longer (Andrews 2008, 50ff). Inevitably, a deep emotional bond was forged that went beyond that of teacher and student. As Julie would later state of her relationship with Madame: “She had an enormous influence on me. She was a third mother to me” (cited in Windeler, 13).

Reading Julie’s many affectionate recollections of Madame, one senses she found in Stiles-Allen a level of grounded emotional support and domestic stability that was not always forthcoming in her own home life:

“I loved the cosy evenings after we’d finished work when, with Madame and her husband, we would all sit around a huge log fire. Such evenings were unknown to me, for that was the time when Mummie and Pop usually had to get ready for the theatre and go out. But with Madame, evenings were the time for relaxation and family talks” (Andrews 1958: 16).

Once Julie reached adulthood, the singing lessons became less frequent but the pair continued to keep in close contact. They worked together closely on vocal preparation for many of Julie’s most famous musical roles including My Fair Lady, Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music. Stiles-Allen’s son lived for several years in Southern California, so she had occasion to visit Julie quite frequently after her relocation to the US (Cottrell, 213). Meanwhile, on her own trips back to England, Julie would always make a point of paying respects to her beloved teacher who, by this stage, had “donated the Old Farm outside Leeds to the Yorkshire College of Music and Drama, and had moved south to a pretty cottage in West Kingsdown, Kent” (Andrews 2008, 188).

It was here that Madame Lilian Stiles-Allen died peacefully in her sleep on 15 July 1982, just two weeks shy of her 92nd birthday (”Obituary,” 10). It was a grand age and a fittingly serene end to an equally grand life. On the occasion of the 130th anniversary of her birth, we remember with fondness and gratitude the great Stiles-Allen. Brava, Madame!

An exclusive look at Kylie Kwong’s new eatery and the people behind it

Nurturing and collaboration is on the coronary heart of every thing Kylie Kwong does, and her new enterprise, Fortunate Kwong, is not any exception.

“Have you ever ever tried contemporary bush mint?” asks Kylie Kwong, surrounded by hundreds of native crops on the South Eveleigh redevelopment close to Redfern station. “It has essentially the most fantastic eucalyptus aroma. I am unable to wait to reap it every single day for new dishes.”

The fragrant shrub will bolster steamed prawn dumplings with Sichuan chilli dressing when the Australian-Chinese language chef opens her new eatery, Fortunate Kwong, at South Eveleigh on Tuesday, Could 25. Australia has been ready to see what Kwong, famend for her use of native substances in her Chinese language delicacies, and her nurturing collaborations with producers, Aboriginal leaders and group pioneers, would do subsequent.

“After closing Billy Kwong in Potts Level two years in the past, I am unable to wait to have an area the place I can prepare dinner for individuals once more and inform the tales of the superb collaborators I work with,” Kwong says. “Simply search for the massive yellow doorways on Locomotive Avenue.”

Fortunate Kwong (or LK) isn’t a restaurant. It is a cafeteria open for lunch Monday to Friday with order-at-the-counter service and a no-bookings coverage. Housed within the heritage annex of an previous locomotive workshop, LK can seat as much as 38 diners at plywood tables whereas sustainable cork surfaces take in lunch-crowd chatter and the clang of an open kitchen.

I used to be decided to not waste one second doing one thing I didn’t really feel obsessive about anymore.

Kylie Kwong

Takeaway could be very a lot an choice, and Kwong has partnered with on-line ordering platform Mr Yum for time-poor employees at Commonwealth Financial institution (the anchor tenant of Mirvac property group’s $1 billion South Eveleigh redevelopment), Channel 7 and different corporations in Redfern’s new Silicon Valley-style hub.

“I needed to do one thing that was reflective of what I used to do at Carriageworks Farmers Market,” says Kwong, referring to her Saturday morning stall a lot liked for egg fried rice, steamed prawn dumplings and nourishing pork buns. “LK is much like the market stand in its simplicity, simply with bricks and mortar.”

Get the most recent information and updates emailed straight to your inbox.

Fortunate Kwong can also be an eatery that proves it is attainable for a takeaway retailer to serve “al desko” lunch dishes with compassion and integrity. A $14 bowl of noodles would not must be a low-quality, eat-and-forget expertise; it may possibly inform a narrative and be a drive for good.

“For me, LK is all about true nourishment,” says Kwong. “It is named after the angel child son my spouse Nell and I sadly misplaced in 2012 and I would like it to be a celebration of every thing I really like. Neighborhood, collaboration and life-giving meals are at its coronary heart.

“We did not get the chance to reside with Fortunate in a method we’d have favored to, however this can be a method we are able to. It is a option to combine him into our life. That is why each particular person and producer concerned, and each element of the design, needs to be about goodness, as a result of that is what Fortunate Kwong means to me.”

The menu is filled with meals that makes you are feeling cared-for and wholesome simply by studying the dish description. Steamed savoury pancakes are a day by day particular, topped with fried egg, Thai basil and red-braised beef brisket maybe, or uncooked yellowfin tuna with XO sauce.

White-cooked hen from Saskia Beer Farm Produce is served with ginger, sea parsley and shallot dipping sauce, whereas a vegetarian plate brimming with rice, tofu, tamari and ginger stars stir-fried natural goodness from Palisa Anderson’s Boon Luck Farm within the Northern Rivers.

“We’ll even have a plate for meat-eaters, maybe that includes pork stomach from [regenerative Taralga farm] Tathra Place, black bean, greens and chilli,” says Kwong.

Saint Peter chef Josh Niland is supplying tuna, ocean trout, Murray cod and kingfish from his Paddington seafood butchery. Honey is harvested from Kwong’s beehive on the Wayside Chapel backyard in Kings Cross; biodynamic beef and lamb is supplied by Paul and Tammy Kurtz, a father-and-daughter group pasture-raising livestock close to Oberon.

“We first met Kylie 15 years in the past when she was shopping for our meat from TJ’s butchery in Balmain,” says Tammy Kurtz, founding father of Lynden Lamb (Paul Kurtz farms crimson Angus cattle on the identical property underneath his Cowobbee Beef model).

“We now promote to Emilio’s butchery in Rozelle, which specialises in breaking down complete animals from sustainable and regenerative farms. It is superb to see Kylie showcasing our biodynamic meat on her menu in such a high-profile spot.”

Kurtz hopes extra individuals having fun with chemical-free meat at informal eateries equivalent to Fortunate Kwong might result in elevated demand for biodynamic produce.

“Australia has a variety of biodynamic farms, however there’s undoubtedly room for extra for growers and producers to go chemical-free and deal with soil well being,” she says. “It simply takes drive and a change in mindset, as a result of a lot typical farming is what has been handed down from earlier generations.”

Kwong got here on board the South Eveleigh venture in 2019 after nearly 20 years as a restaurateur.

“I felt an internal restlessness for some months in 2018 and thus determined to make important modifications,” she says. “The expertise with Fortunate actually drove this choice. I used to be decided to not waste one second doing one thing I didn’t really feel obsessive about anymore.”

Kwong wears two hats at South Eveleigh: one as a tenant at LK, the opposite as ambassador for tradition, meals and group.

“The ambassador function permits me to fulfill new individuals and develop relationships, which in flip result in new concepts, activations and occasions,” says the 51-year-old. “With a purpose to collaborate and interact, you simply should be open to individuals’s tales and have that want to rejoice others.”

Cudgenburra and Bundjalung man Clarence Slockee is a frequent collaborator with Kwong at South Eveleigh. Slockee is the director of Jiwah, an Indigenous firm specialising in cultural panorama and design.

With a crew of younger Aboriginal horticulturists, Jiwah grows greater than 60 species of native crops round South Eveleigh. Many of those can be harvested from a rooftop backyard to characteristic in Fortunate Kwong dishes.

“I first met Clarence 10 years in the past once I began actually exploring the usage of Australian native substances in my cooking,” says Kwong.

“I needed to study extra about bush meals and converse to the Indigenous group about how they had been historically used. All roads led me to Clarence, who was the Aboriginal educator and environmentalist at Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens on the time.

“The person is simply so unimaginable, beneficiant and passionate. Watching him mentor younger Indigenous horticulturalists is inspiring. It is unimaginable to have that experience and information on the bottom right here every single day.”

Slockee can also be serving to set up an natural backyard to develop herbs and greens for Fortunate Kwong near the cafeteria.

“The great thing about what Kylie does, not simply with native substances however every thing she cooks, is the best way she educates individuals round meals safety, the place the produce comes from and the way it’s sourced or grown,” says Slockee.

“All of the whereas, she can also be ensuring everybody is correctly compensated for his or her efforts. That is the type of factor that we’re into at Jiwah too.”

Slockee hopes the massive variety of individuals consuming urban-grown natives at Fortunate Kwong will encourage extra individuals to plant bush meals at dwelling.

“Rising your personal is the easiest way to expertise native flavours with out spending a large amount of cash on the grocery store, going to a high-end restaurant, or heading bush and taking wild meals from areas it should not be taken from.”

Redfern has been an vital locality for First Nations Australians because the 1800s, says Slockee.

“There was numerous work right here, so that you had individuals transferring to the realm from everywhere in the nation. It turned an enclave in some respects, since you had manufacturing facility work and a large industrial hub due to the railway.

“Redfern was the birthplace of the Aboriginal Authorized Service and medical service, and out of that you find yourself with totally different social enterprises equivalent to Tribal Warrior, which is main the best way in mentoring younger individuals.”

Shane Phillips is a revered member of the Redfern Aboriginal group and Tribal Warrior’s chief govt. The not-for-profit organisation empowers native Indigenous younger individuals by offering specialised coaching and mentoring applications resulting in employment alternatives.

Mirvac has created a company workplace hub to accommodate greater than 18,000 employees, which might have result in gentrification and displacement. But Phillips is worked up for the way forward for Redfern and that his group has an opportunity to amplify its tradition by “having a seat on the desk”.

“I’ve lived right here all my life,” he says. “I’ve seen Redfern develop and alter and fall many occasions. Proper now, it is rising out of the ashes once more, however this time we’re a part of it.

“On the South Eveleigh precinct we’re pushing our personal narrative. The rooftop backyard, for instance, is a spot of energy to study concerning the science of native crops from individuals related to them. On the identical time, we’re rebuilding a information of language and First Nations tradition, which my era nearly thought was misplaced.”

Rising up in Redfern, Phillips says his and different households lived on numerous takeaway meals from long-gone diners such because the Palms Milk Bar and Snowy’s Hamburger Store.

“Snowy’s was the very best. They might allow us to youngsters behind the counter to assist prepare dinner and handled blackfellas like their very own household.”

The draw back to all these deep-fried good occasions, says Phillips, is that many households inherited the identical high-sugar, high-fat food regimen with numerous carbohydrates. “However when there are 10 mouths to feed, mum and pa have to ensure everybody is nice and full on the finish of the day.”

Redfern nonetheless has its justifiable share of not-too-healthy takeaway, however the suburb can also be alive with artisan bakeries, vegan cafes, grocers, dumpling outlets, Thai eating places and a new taqueria.

At South Eveleigh, RaRa Chan specialises in tsukemen dipping ramen, whereas Egg of the Universe brews kombucha and Eat Fuh serves Vietnamese noodle soup – to not point out Fortunate Kwong, in fact, with bush mint prawn dumplings and native sea parsley.

Kwong says talking concerning the First Nations group and highlighting bush meals is “very, essential” to her. “Being at South Eveleigh has allowed me to go deeper into that,” says the third-generation Australian (and twenty ninth era Kwong).

“I really feel very snug and at dwelling with First Nations individuals as a result of they’re extremely non secular. I really like the reference to land and nation.

“[Respected elder] Aunty Beryl just lately invited me to prepare dinner along with her on the Nationwide Centre of Indigenous Excellence annual Twilight Blak Markets and that was an incredible honour. We have been mates for 10 years and Aunty Beryl is certainly one of my mentors. She’s like my different mom.”

With seven days till her new cafeteria launches, Kwong is now working across the clock to open Fortunate Kwong’s massive yellow doorways. As soon as the brand new venue is settled, she is trying ahead to extra group engagement and time with household and mates.

“I will be cooking at LK from Monday to Friday, however outdoors of lunch hours I am going to have the ability to drive round assembly with producers and collaborating with all of the particular individuals in my life. It is going to be so totally different to my restaurant life, which was all-encompassing and overwhelming for 20 years.

“Fortunate Kwong is an area the place every thing that I really like has come collectively underneath one roof. I really feel actually completely happy and fulfilled … I’ve landed in the very best place.”

Fortunate Kwong opens at South Eveleigh, 2 Locomotive Avenue, Eveleigh on Tuesday, Could 25. Monday-Friday, 11am-2:30pm

The Great Strike of 1917

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the Great Strike, which began 2nd August 1917 in Australia.

As the Great War continued into 1917, work in essential industries at home, such as the railways, increased due to the demands of goods to support the war. This reached breaking point for the workers when the NSW government attempted to introduce a card system from the USA that closely monitored each worker’s daily performance. On top of this, it was becoming increasingly harder to support families with wages falling and the stresses of dealing with the human cost of the war. Railway workers at the Eveleigh rail yards downed tools on August 2nd, 1917 to protest these changes, beginning one of the longest and largest strikes in Australia’s history. Soon, other unions joined the strike and at its peak over 97,000 workers across many trades were involved. Unions raised funds to help the strikers and marches were held throughout Australia; a group of women even tried to storm NSW parliament to speak to the Premier. The strike became known as the Great or Big Strike and entered Australian industrial history.

The Holman government fought back hard, stripping workers of their jobs and entitlements and deregistering unions. Free labourers were recruited, many from rural areas, and even private school boys were enlisted to try and keep industry running. One worker was even shot outside Camperdown Hospital. Eventually these harsh measures took their toll and the strike was called off after 82 days on September 8th, leaving many workers unemployed and even blacklisted, and many families in dire need. Many workers did not get their railway jobs back until the Lang government was elected in 1925.

Two sacked workers went on to greatness: Ben Chifley was sacked from the railways and later became Australia’s prime minister, and J J Cahill, another sacked worker later became a popular NSW premier.

The State Library of New South Wales holds a variety of materials relating to the Great Strike and its aftermath. Journalist Voltaire Molesworth kept a scrapbook of the strike. The library also holds many photographs of both the workers and the volunteers that worked during the strike. Printed items include essays by Socialists (What means this strike? by Daniel De Leon and an Annual Report published by the Labour Council that lists donations to the Relief Fund.

Emerging from the cacophony, layers of dialogue, and altogether hustle and bustle of the Redfern Train station, commuters are greeted by the 40 000 years mural. Located on Lawson street in Eveleigh, the artwork was originally painted in 1983 by local community members led by artist Carol Ruff (Barani 2013). In illustrating the rainbow serpent, footsteps on the continent, key community figures such as Mum Shirl, as well as indigenous children positioned in front of a church mission, the mural articulates the history and experience of both traditional and contemporary indigenous Australians. Not only does the artwork render the dispossession and discrimination faced by Aboriginal people since colonisation but also the resilience of Indigenous culture and their connection to country. In her study of wall art projects relating to the Kanaka Maoli context, Tamaira (2017, p 1) articulates that “these projects illuminate the power of public art to galvanize not only indigenous communities but also the broader public around contemporary and ongoing indigenous political concerns” as well as act as “walls of empowerment.” This is very much the case with this mural. Due to the fact that it is inextricably linked to train goer’s everyday visuals, the mural interacts positively with contemporary western society. Ensuring that history does not remain mystery and indigenous culture is not relegated to dim corners of society. It is also in direct contrast to the historical experience of Indigenous communities of being relegated to the peripheries and marginalised as the vibrancy and sheer extent of the mural is difficult to avoid and ignore.

Yes, the mural was beautifully designed and resonated deeply with me, but I struggled to contain my studies of the area to this localised point outside the train station. Extending on the concepts of custodianship as opposed to ownership of land discussed in the lectures for this class, I could not help but notice the overwhelming use of ‘private property’ signage and land demarcated by fences and walls. A stark contrast to the early Aboriginal Australian experience. It was a surreal experience trying to cast my mind back to a time where the land was not locked behind gates or buried under office buildings. Another focus of the Unit of Study was to question the western paradigm that asserted human’s superior position over the natural world. As a product of this, I was sharply aware that the abundance of birds and trees depicted in the artwork was noticeably absent in my immediate surroundings. What once was the home of a multitude of flora and fauna is now is now the foundation of Kebab Shops and the like.

Despite the extensive clearing of native vegetation to cater for the needs of mainstream white society and with it the extensive clearing of traditional indigenous lifestyle and culture, the small painted image of an aboriginal flag on electrical meters, markings on the pavement, walls and doorways painted in a red, yellow, and black colour scheme act as a subtle reminder that Australia always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

Eveleigh, Carriageworks, art

CarriageWorks is a multi-venue arts centre in the inner city suburb of Eveleigh. It is housed in the former Eveleigh railway yards which were built between 1880 and 1889. The Carriageworks sign structure has been used to create a unique neon artwork called "Remember Me" by Indigenous artist Reko Rennie. 2020 marks the 250th anniversary of Captain James Cook’s first landfall at Botany Bay and the HMB Endeavour’s charting of the East Coast of Australia. The artist has responded with a present-day memorial in recognition of the frontier wars, the massacres and the survival of the original sovereigns of this country, the Aboriginal people of Australia. He asks us to consider the personal impact of our past and how history is made today.
