Tribal Voices Series - Family Teachings seeds

This artwork from Traphina Sultan’s Tribal Voices Series beautifully reflects the intergenerational passing of knowledge — where elders teach young ones about the land’s natural gifts: the seeds, bush medicines, and plants used in ceremony and dance.

The flowing composition mirrors the rhythm of storytelling, movement, and ritual. Each shape and line symbolises the seeds of wisdom being planted — lessons about healing, respect, and identity nurtured through hands-on experience and song.

Through vibrant detail and gentle balance, Sultan captures a timeless truth of Indigenous culture: that learning is not confined to words, but lived through connection to Country, community, and the ceremonies that keep both culture and spirit alive.
