Ghost Net Handbag by Natalie YantarrngaA ghost net is a discarded or lost plastic fishing net that continues to drift at sea, "fishing" on its own and causing significant environmental harm, including the loss of marine life. These nets frequently wash up on beaches in Northern Australian communities, where they contribute to environmental degradation.

A ghost net is a discarded or lost plastic fishing net that continues to drift at sea, "fishing" on its own and causing significant environmental harm, including the loss of marine life. These nets frequently wash up on beaches in Northern Australian communities, where they contribute to environmental degradation. The term "ghost net" arises from the net's "ghostly" ability to fish independently.

The Anindilyakwa artists on Groote Eylandt have turned this environmental challenge into an opportunity for artistic expression. They repurpose ghost nets into contemporary woven artworks, such as baskets and sculptures, combining them with bush-dyed fabrics and other textiles. These "new ways" artworks reflect a creative evolution of traditional practices.

As artist Annabell Amagula explains, "It started from the old ways, making baskets with Pandanus. We do the new ways now with some ghost net and fabrics. Those nets kill our bush tucker, our turtles and fish and crab. The rangers go around and pick up the net and give it to us. Our weaving carries the story."

These works not only embody the blend of traditional and contemporary techniques but also serve as a powerful narrative of environmental awareness and cultural resilience.

All around helpful---worth the money!
Format: Paperback
This guide has been most helpful for all the folks I help prepare for the iTEP test! It gives insight into what each section of the test is looking for along with examples and great tips about actually TAKING the test. In the Writing and Speaking sections, it also gives sample scores and comments from the Master Grader which is very helpful too.

Comprehensive, clear and coherent!
Format: Paperback
The iTEP Practice Guide combines a no-nonsense approach to the specific iTEP tests and at the same time offers exercises that task the student with what they need to know. Exercises not only serve the purpose of scoring well, but the overall approach is communicative competence. We use the text in our group and one-to-one classes with very positive--and lasting--results.

No recomiendo
Format: Paperback
Muy malo, no vine completo, además se demoró mucho más de lo que decía al momento de comprarlo. Solo aplazaban la fecha de entrega sin consultar cómo afectaba al cliente. Yo tuve que presentar el examen sin el libro, porque no llegó en la fecha que decía al comprarlo y después se cambió 3 veces la fecha, casi cumpliendo el mes.
