'Land, Sea and Sky’ embraces the cultural and practical significance of land, sea and sky to Torres Strait Islander people and its influence on their art.
Alick Tipoti’s monumental wall painting ‘Kaygasiw-Usul' translating to both ‘Trail of underwater dust created by the shovel nosed shark’ & ‘the star constellation of the Milky Way’, this wall tells of a great Torres Strait creation story.
Presented across the major Level 3 galleries at GoMA, this will be the largest and possibly the most significant exhibition to date of contemporary art by Torres Strait Islander artists anywhere in the world.
More than 40 artists, including major commissions of exciting new works, and loans from both important public and private collections across Australia.
