Additional Information
Well of Tears, Visions of Hope is a three-day yarning circle and part of 2020 VISION; SEEING WITH BOTH EYES in collaboration with Arrernte Elder, Pelterre Chris Tomlins’, Dreaming Australia and Hazel Davis’, Making Peasce, and Peacebus (Graham Dunstan). Well of Tears, Visions of Hope takes place from Wednesday 22nd – Friday 24th April offering three days of yarning circles for those who wish to focus on truth telling in relation to the massacres of First People of this continent.
These massacres are still widely denied, down-played or ignored. We cannot bring about justice, create peace, come to reconciliation or live in harmony on this continent without a truthful understanding and full recognition of these genocides and the resulting long-term consequences.
The yarning circles will create a flow throughout the three days

About making peas/ce
Making Peas/ce Acknowledges First Peoples
We acknowledge the First Peoples as custodians of the lands and islands now known as Australia where we live as guests.
We pay our respects to the elders past, present and emerging who own the rich heritage and culture from whom we have so much to learn as we share in a journey of healing and restitution following the tradgedies of the Frontier Wars and intergenerational effects.
PEAS/CE GROWS FROM THE GROUND UP
Welcome to the Making Peas/ce movement that started with the recognition of the Desert Pea blood flower being a symbol of memorial for the First Peoples who died through invasion and the effects of colonisation of what is now called Australia.
There are strong similarities 10,000 years later to the Flanders Poppy and European Wars where blood has been spilt and a flower grows to symbolise new life, healing and hope while remembering the fallen.
Their blood cries out from the ground.
More recently known by the explorer and invader's name, "Sturts Desert Pea" this flower has song lines going back tens of thousands of years that belong to the First Peoples of where it grows across the arid interior of the continent.
