Find a series of paste-up posters on the streets of Fitzroy and Collingwood by artist Daen Sansbury-Smith.

Black Crow is a metaphor for the wise watchful eye of male Aboriginal role models and their key responsibilities within the community. This collection of paintings with augmented reality is a selection from an exhibition expanding on Narungga and Trawoolwaway artist Daen Sansbury-Smith’s representation of Narungga and Palawa stories, art and culture. The collection explores transference of inherited knowledge, stories and responsibility from a father to his young children. Through ochre, charcoal and acrylic on canvas, Sansbury-Smith maps Ancestral memory and connection to country, sharing stories of pre and post-contact Aboriginal history and culture. This mapping draws upon cultural design of huge importance to Sansbury-Smith.
