EYEWEAR | Specsavers

 Martumili Artist Helen Dale Samson has joined forces with Specsavers and The Fred Hollows Foundation to create a limited edition range of glasses inspired by the enchanting 'Puntawarri’ ​​ which depicts the diverse flora found in the area in which Helen resides – the site of an important Jukurrpa (Dreaming) story. Helen was born at Jigalong Mission in the Pilburra region of Western Australia and continues to live in the community located there today. Puntawarri is an important cultural area located in the middle stretches of the Canning Stock Route and east of JIgalong Aboriginal community. 

Dale, a proud Warnman woman, was born at Jigalong Mission in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, and continues to live in the community located there today. Puntawarri is an important cultural area located in the middle stretches of the Canning Stock Route and east of the Jigalong Mission (now Jigalong Aboriginal community)/ In this artwork, Dale depicts the diverse flora found in the area – the site of an important Jukurrpa (Dreaming) story.

The 2023 theme is For Our Elders. The following text has been taken from naidoc.org.au “Across every generation, our Elders have played, and continue to play, an important role and hold a prominent place in our communities and families. 
They are cultural knowledge holders, trailblazers, nurturers, advocates, teachers, survivors, leaders, hard workers and our loved ones. 
 Our loved ones who pick us up in our low moments and celebrate us in our high ones. Who cook us a feed to comfort us and pull us into line, when we need them too….how will you celebrate For Our Elders?”
