Dorrie Joy on Ancestral Crafts as Our Path to Belonging Rooted Healing
-
- Society & Culture
Dorrie Joy is a multidisciplinary artist, ancestral craftswomen, herbalist, space holder and educator. She guides ancestral drum making workshops amongst many other traditional crafts and her paintings are known for their deeply indigenous intimacy with the ephemerality of life, influenced by her almost 30 years of initiation and intimate training with indigenous women and elders in many areas of ancient craft and ceremony. Dorrie is a Mother of three and a Grandmother of two and her work is informed by her passion for sustainability, rooted in connection and reciprocity. This episode features snippets of spoken word and music from Dorrie’s collection of original art and traditional crafts called ‘Thirteen Secrets’, which follows a seasonal and cyclical spiral of becoming and belonging - weaving themes of grief, hope, forgiveness and courage beyond linear time and cultural divides, rooted in our shared memory.
Snippets from Thirteen Secrets in this episode include ‘Dawn’ with Susie Ro, Ayla Schafer, Helen Knight and ‘Herbs’ with James Watts.
You can find Thirteen Secrets in book form via dorriejoy.co.uk and the accompanying album at dorriejoy.bandcamp.com.
