About the exhibition
This exhibition of First Nations art captures generations of cultural knowledge shaped by a profound relationship to Country. In these vibrant and innovative works, emerging and established First Nations artists from across Far North Queensland and the Torres Strait share what it means to belong.
Initiated by the Indigenous Art Centre Alliance (IACA), the Belonging project encouraged artists to explore new materials and techniques. Community art centres and the artists nominated the type of workshop they wanted — from advanced painting to ceramics, photography and filmmaking. The result is a dynamic collection of more than 400 artworks by 103 artists telling stories of family, daily life, culture and identity.
