When a video of Taris and Taris dancing at work went viral online, they could not believe it. Now, they want to use their new platform to be role models and carry on their ancestors' knowledge.
abc.net.au/news/ramingining-artists-nt-viral-video-dancing-at-work/102198624There are only two people called Taris in the remote central Arnhem Land community of Ramingining — and they are best friends.
Ashley said he did not even know the video had gone viral until he saw hundreds of new people had begun following him online. Ashley and Darby work at Bula'bula Arts, where their grandfathers are considered the "founding fathers". "I was sitting around, doing nothing, and [Ashley] told me to work here… so I'm here, and I'm proud of myself," he said.
