Our Way- Contemporary Aboriginal Art from Lockhart River introduces
the unique and stunning art of a group of young Aboriginal artists
from far north Queensland's Lockhart River community. Lockhart
River is Australia's only remote youth-driven Aboriginal art
initiative, and the rise to national and international recognition
of a number of these artists is a unique and remarkable chapter in
Australia's art history. Their art is about 'Sandbeach' culture and
community and its spectacular wilderness environment in Cape York
Peninsula. But it is also a worldly art of the twenty-first century
that shows the global scope of Aboriginal cultural expression
today. Lockhart River art is always about the community, but each
artist approaches this communal identity in distinctive and
innovative ways. Their art is a beguiling insight into how
individuality and community co-exist in the contemporary life of
Aboriginal people. Our Way brings all of this extraordinary art
together in the one place for the first time.
