Spirits in the Ink

This exhibition showcases the extensive archive of Djumbunji Press, a hub for print-making by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in Far North Queensland that was active from 2009 to 2014. Shown alongside recent acquisitions from the Moreton Bay Art Collection and selected loans, the works in this exhibition showcase the rich and diverse cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists in the region, expressing their strong and vast cultural connection to country. From emerging artists through to leading practitioners, the artists represented in this exhibition explore traditional and contemporary visual elements in a variety of techniques and styles, expressing their unique stories through the medium of print. These works have never been exhibited together previously, and viewed collectively tell the compelling story of First Nations print-making in Far North Queensland. Spirits in the Ink is a collaborative exhibition between City of Moreton Bay and Northsite Contemporary Arts curated by Aven Noah Jr.
