Our Way: The Lockhart River Art Gang

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. pp. 160 colour illusts First Edition #0520
