Giran

Giran is a term from the Wiradjuri people of New South Wales, Australia, describing both literal wind and metaphorical change. Artist Jonathan Jones brought the concept to broader attention through his installation untitled (giran) (2018), created in collaboration with elder Dr Uncle Stan Grant Snr. Jones explained that "winds bring change, knowledge and new ideas," linking the physical phenomenon to the emotional dimensions of fear and apprehension within Indigenous Australian philosophy.
