“Reflecting our strong cultural traditions and our beautiful relationships with our world we carefully express our love and dedication to the ocean, to our island and all of its creatures. We show our relationships with the wind, rain, earth, the skies, stars and the sun.” - Artists of Badu Island

 The artistry of the Badu Island artists, whether intricate prints, expressive castings or passionate dance, convey the intangible, yet undeniable triune bond between the island, its people, and the native wildlife. They tell of the changing of the seasons, the primal forces of the sun, moon, wind and rain, and their eternal influence upon this ancient trinity. This exhibition is a celebration of, and tribute to, the physical and spiritual vitality imbued within this remote island home.

 Elucidating the artistic and cultural relationship between contemporary art and traditional performance in the Torres Strait, featured artists Laurie Nona and Alick Tipoti, accompanied by Gemat Nona, Matilda Nona, Tony Matasia & Weldon Matasia will perform a traditional Badu Island dance. Mossenson Galleries in conjunction with Badu Art Centre is delighted to offer this unique experience.
