Great and Small - Kindred creatures in the Indigenous Australian Art Collection
Great and Small - Kindred creatures in the Indigenous Australian Art Collection
Animals have played a central part in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and spiritual beliefs for over 60,000 years.
Native fauna form an integral part of relationships with Country, in community and are a foundation of economies, identity and sustainability.
Over many millennia of co-existence animals have been central to survival as a food source, for First Nations people they are also absorbed into lore and culture as images of totemic power; and into the ancestral creation stories that link people, land and animals.
'Great and small' is a celebration of these connections.
