Sea and Mangrove Sand Crabs “Heather Wunjarra Koowootha was born in 1966 in Cairns and grew up in Yarrabah. This exhibition brings together two series of watercolour paintings by Koowootha drawn from traditional ecological knowledge of plants and marine life passed down to her from her mother (Yidinji peoples, Yarrabah) and father (Wik-Mungkan peoples, Aurukun). In 2019 Koowootha produced sixteen botanical works for the 2021 Ritual exhibition that explored the nutritional, material and magical properties of local flora used for food, healing and the production of hunting and gathering and ceremonial objects. In particular, the illustrations carry important knowledge associated with the medicinal and ritual uses of plants in birth, women’s business, marriage, death and other important cultural ceremonies. These works are now held in the Gallery Collection, and in 2023 the Gallery, supported by Double R Arts Foundation commissioned Koowootha to produce a further twelve works that expanded into series to incorporate the local marine life used for food and healing practices by the Yidinji and Wik Mungkan peoples. These exquisite drawings, each finished with handwritten text describing the specific qualities and uses of each species in Koowootha’s own words, offer a unique and rare document of the knowledge passed down through the generations.” https://www.cairnsartgallery.com.au/collections/sea-and-mangrove-sand-crabs

Five idealized European men are depicted at the center, struggling with serpents, echoing the classical sculpture "Laocoön and His Sons". The artist, Kent Monkman's, gender-fluid alter ego, Miss Chief Eagle Testickle, often appears in his works, including this one, to subvert colonial narratives. The scene takes place within a setting that blends elements of an Indigenous lodge with a classical academy, addressing themes of colonization, sexuality, and the complexities of historical and contemporary Indigenous experiences. The painting draws on and subverts conventions of history painting, a genre traditionally used for large-scale works with historical, mythological, or biblical subjects.

Portraits and Portrayals: Using Wealth as Power to Control What Art Historicises Art is a powerful force. Whether you love it, hate it or are entirely indifferent, art is a reflection of who we are. Such a reflection can be inspirational calls to action, shocking reminders of time...

Going to remake this historic art as something subversive, then back to Haudeno-mon

WHO'S THAT HAUDENO-MON!?

Jigonsese x Steenee. This one was fun! I learned how to do pattern along path to create the beads on her regalia! #HaudenosauneeArt #IndigenousArt #FirstNationsArt

“For Métis artist Christi Belcourt, politics, people, art and Mother Earth are as inextricably interwoven as the decades-old First Nations and Métis beading patterns she carefully replicates in her paintings. [This work] features walleye fish from the Great Lakes and Northern Ontario waters which swim in a diamond pattern and are surrounded by jewel-toned water. As the fishes cut through the water, gold trails emerge from their fins.”
