Arunta tribesmen of central Australia preparing a new corroboree, 1922. Artist: Baldwin Spencer
Arunta tribesmen of central Australia preparing a new corroboree, 1922. For indigenous Australians, the corroboree comes closest to a modern concept of theatre, but this participatory public performance of songs and dances represents much more than entertainment; it is a celebration of Aboriginal mythology and spirituality. From Peoples of All Nations, Their Life Today and the Story of Their Past, volume I: Abyssinia to the British Empire, edited by JA Hammerton and published by the Educational Book Company (London, 1922)

EDITORS COMMENTS
Arunta tribesmen of central Australia preparing a new corroboree, 1922. This print captures the essence of Aboriginal culture and spirituality in the early 20th century. The image showcases a group of Arunta tribesmen meticulously getting ready for a corroboree, an indigenous Australian performance that goes beyond mere entertainment. For the Arunta people, the corroboree represents a profound celebration of their mythology and spiritual beliefs. It is through this participatory public display of songs and dances that they connect with their ancestors, their country, and each other. The men are seen dressed in traditional costumes, adorned with intricate designs that reflect their cultural heritage. The photographer Baldwin Spencer skillfully captured this momentous occasion during his exploration of indigenous cultures across Australia. His lens transports us to the remote outback location where these rituals took place, offering us a glimpse into a world rich in tradition and symbolism. This photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece by Baldwin Spencer and an invaluable historical document preserved within volume I: Abyssinia to the British Empire edited by JA Hammerton. It reminds us of the resilience and beauty found within Indigenous Australian communities as they continue to honor their past while embracing modernity.
