BiographyHistory

'John Karranjal Hartley was birthed on Cadigal homelands at Kogarah ('place of reeds') in 1956. He left school early to travel around country and spent time with First Nation Cree elders in Kanata and Anangu Pitjantjatjara-Yankunytjatjara of the western desert, finding ways of reclaiming ancestral values, beliefs and practices, and Yalanji language and storytelling. John has developed art-based presentations addressing the impacts and effects of colonial violence, and co-produced the documentary Two Brothers Walking a bilingual animation promoting cultural understanding and maintenance.' (Source : Growing up Aboriginal in Australia)
