extract from
Juan Garrido Salgado
Children at Woomera
in gratitude to the artists that work as volunteers to make the life of the children in detention centres a bit more bearable by the notion that there are people with real hearts pumping in their chests in this country they were brought by their families looking for refuge, and not only mechanical inanimated humanoids with the power to lock the innocent and hide behind legal loopholes, by this i am trying to say cowards!
I will draw a
barbed wire fence
with the eyes of children
colour blind in the desert . . .
i saw 18 drawings by the
'Children of Woomera'
each one of these drawing for
our conscience
for our stone's heart . . .
each one of these drawings
for us.
