Indigenous artworks showcase Brisbane River
The Brisbane River and suburban waterways are the focus of new artworks installed as part of the Outdoor Gallery’s Indigenous Art Program.
Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said this year’s Indigenous Art Program, Reflections – A Reflection of Brisbane’s Waterways, showcased and celebrated Brisbane-based Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists.
“The Brisbane River, or Maiwar, has long held a special connection to First Nations people and continues to be significant to residents and visitors today,” Cr Schrinner said.
“The artworks in this year’s exhibition focus on the beauty and significance of the Brisbane River and surrounding waterways across our suburbs.
“The popular Indigenous Art Program provides more to see and do for residents and visitors while also supporting local artists.”
The council’s Indigenous Art Program is an important part of its Outdoor Gallery and features everything from large-scale banners to showcase installations and night-time projections.
This latest exhibition showcases artworks from 11 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, including curator BINGKIN and Luke Mallie.
Cr Schrinner said the exhibition featured emerging and established artists who responded to a community call-out to share their stories.
“The Outdoor Gallery is a way to celebrate and acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s depths and strength of culture, and understanding of the land,” he said.
“The exhibition also offers a range of events and activities, including walking tours, artist talks, workshops and some guided virtual reality experiences.
“These events give audiences an opportunity to explore and engage with the artists and their stories.”
Reflections runs until 2 October in various locations across Brisbane.
