Wayne Quilliam took this photograph at the You Yangs in Victoria, where dancers from across the state gathered to prepare the children for their Naming Ceremony. ‘In its purest essence the evolution of culture connects us to Country, it inhales and exhales with us, has a heartbeat, and sings songs for all to hear,’ says Quilliam. ‘Listening to the Elders share the stories with the young ones as they prepare ochre for ceremony provides connection to a new entity of self, time, place and cultural consciousness.’
