Zenadth Kes / Torres Strait Islands: from carvers to printmakers
Our culture and traditions were mostly passed down orally through the generations and were also recorded in our sacred rock art painting, engraving and carvings. We made artefacts, masks and canoes.
When Moa Arts (Ngalmun Lagau Minaral) started in 1999 our major objective was to record and preserve the cultural knowledge so that it would be available for future generations of Torres Strait Islanders. We were very fortunate to have our artworks exhibited nationally and internationally, which built the foundation of the Torres Strait Islands’ print tradition.
