It is not a negative act for the expression of anger.
It is act for public cultural exchange and expression to announce in public the first Aboriginal Cultural Embassy outside of the Australian State.
Lionel Fogarty, our first pioneer ambassador, an Australian aboriginal writer, poet and above all a Land Rights activist, will share with us his native welcome song, his poems and his feelings about the genocide and robbery of the land committed against the Australian Aboriginal Indigenous people.
We encourage all the participants to come dressed up and equipped with local expressions of culture in general. Music, theatre, poetry, dance… all welcome to receive the authentic Australian Ambassador.
We would like to co-ordinate the public act with a synchronized simultaneous emails of protest and recognition of lands rights to the Australian Embassy in Madrid. At the same time and from all over the World. (March 2nd 12 pm Madrid time).
