Philip Green: Aboriginal Survival Technology Incursion Monday 28/6
Naturalist Philip Green will present a visual and tactile experience of traditional technologies used by Indigenous peoples across the varied environments of Australia – deserts, mountains, rivers and sea shores. He has a large collection of museum-quality artefacts which are given out in multiple touch boxes for students to examine and handle.
A National Geographic photographer, who has visited or lived with Indigenous communities across Australia, including Kakadu and other states of Australia, Phillip will use his photos in an audio-visual presentation of the native plants and wildlife used for food, clothing, medicine, shelter, weapons and art.
The cost of the Incursion will be covered by the School. There will be no cost to the students.
