Hi, I am Petra Jungmanova a Czech artist, author and curator living in the beautiful bush Capital of Australia, Canberra. YARNS Magazine is my creation. In the Czech Republic I was immersed in the creative arts, culture, adventure, and nature. When I came to establish my new life in Australia some 20 years ago, I was determined to discover and expand upon the things I love in this amazing and unique new world that unfolded before me.
The inspiration for the Magazine came from my love for adventure, travel, human stories, and connection to the land. I believe in the beauty and goodness in people, and that as we are the ultimate creators of our lives, we have the power to uplift each other. Added to this is my conviction of our need to learn to connect with and understand the collective experiences of indigenous communities around the world, as their stories become increasingly relevant to our lives today and for the future.
In YARNS we will all share stories of various dreamers, romantics, creatives, travellers, adventurers, and achievers from Australia and other cultures around the world. People who have ‘walked the walk’ and are telling their unique ways of experiencing life in their own way. Plus, we will be featuring places and things, that I feel complement these experiences. YARNS will be published quarterly and contain a curated mix of stories from and about people, places, and things covering the tapestry of ‘real’ life in Australia and places overseas, told in our special way.
Importantly, we at YARNS Magazine acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the Lands where we live, learn, work and play; and we pay our respects to them and their elders, past, present, and future.
Peace, love and happiness,
Petra
