more cartoons from AMES
Cartoons from the Australian Migrant Education Services (AMES) youth class at Footscray

The class had two cartoon workshops with Debbie and they made cartoons about the themes, "Heartlands and Homelands", and "Hopes and Dreams for the Future".
This work will be exhibited at Gallery Sunshine Everywhere in Refugee Week.

Well done everybody, they are great!

It is different, traditional clothes. In my country we pay a lot of money for traditional wedding clothes and we have different meanings for the clothes. We have a silver belt and silver bracelet and seashells that hang in your hair. We make the seashell headress. It is very hard to make the traditional clothing. We don't use the sewing machine, we use wood to weave the cloth and hand sew them.
Sometimes in Burma, the bride will wear both these dresses, the traditional and the western white dress on their Wedding Day. One in the morning and one in the evening.
