Strength

By D.Kerr
Yorta Yorta
2024

Strength we draw from our Ancestors. Strength within ourselves. Strength of community and Mob. Strength and tenacity of all of us to fight on. Strength of our voices to be heard. Strength to be seen as people of this land. Strength of all Aboriginal people alone and together. Our strength is golden.

I did this painting because it reminds me of a time before jail when I was young and free, enjoying life without any fears or bad dreams!

My People Visit Me in Spirit

By Fleetwood
Wotjobaluk
2024

After my people pass away I feel their souls, they're next to me. I feel their presence and at times they talk to me. Keep the Fires Burning.

Walking on History: Sharing Culture and Country

By the Teelack Brothers

It all has a history. So just take a second to think on how old that could be and where it came from or even who or how it could have got there.
