‘land, sea and sky: contemporary art of
the torres strait islands’ was a significant
exhibition of contemporary art by more
than 40 torres strait islander artists,
demonstrating the cultural and practical
significance of land, sea and sky to the
people of the torres strait.
the exhibition included dance objects,
prints, film, video, textiles, ceramics and
installations drawn from the Queensland
art gallery's collection, as well as
important loans and commissioned works.
‘land, sea and sky’ reinforced cultural
knowledge for islanders by presenting
their rich and complex cultures to a broad
gallery audience.
the exhibition formed part of the torres
strait islands: a celebration, presented
by Queensland's major arts organisations
at the cultural centre, south bank, which
showcased the diversity and vibrancy of
historical and contemporary art and culture
of torres strait islander australians.
