Description

Dive into Sea Country with your little learners. The Under the Sea Dreaming Rug, designed by proud Mandandanji and Noonuccal artist Kiz Costelloe, honours the deep cultural connection between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the ocean — a connection carried through saltwater Country, Dreamtime stories and the rhythms of tides and seasons. Children gather on a generous 3m x 2m space, yarn about marine life and sustainability, and you tick off EYLF Outcomes 1 and 2 while embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into every-day practice, exactly the cultural responsiveness assessors look for under NQF Quality Areas 3 and 6.

About the design.

Kiz Costelloe's Under the Sea Dreaming artwork brings Sea Country to life — saltwater stories, marine creatures and the ocean's role as a living, breathing part of First Nations life. A daily provocation for yarning about sustainability, biodiversity and the interdependence between people, animals, plants, lands and waters that sits at the heart of First Nations knowledge.
