MONDAY - The Fight for the Bight Against Big Oil
Whale song man, Mirning Elder and founding member/lead singer of Coloured Stone. 2018 will mark over 40 years of constant touring for the prolific songwriter, who has appeared in almost every remote Aboriginal community and festival in Australia, punctuated by performances overseas.
A proud Mirning elder from his homelands on Ngargangurie (the Nullarbor Plains), Bunna is passionate about his indigenous heritage and the preservation of traditional land and culture. It was Bunna's drive, for the protection of the environment and his sacred totem, the Southern Right Whale, that became the subject of the award-winning, inspiring film The Whaledreamers.
As an extension to his role as a Mirning Elder, Whale Songman, Medicine Man, Musician, Singer, Songwriter and Visual Artist, Bunna Lawrie is an educator and conducts Healing and Cultural Training Workshops taking experiences from the Mirning culture.
