Aboriginal art style depiction of figures and a river on a rock against a starry background.

an aboriginal artwork From the primordial depths of inner Earth, where ancient waters are held within rock formations, to the vast expanses of outer space, where icy comets bear testament to its cosmic origins, water is a continuous, living presence. This exhibition illuminates water's extensive journey, revealing its essential role in shaping our planet and sustaining all life. For Australian Aboriginal Peoples, this connection to water is not merely ecological but deeply spiritual and ancestral. Waterways are the veins of Country, holding the ancient memories of creation, culture, and Lore. This profound relationship instills an intrinsic responsibility to care for the waters – a custodial duty passed down through generations – reminding us all of our collective obligation to protect this precious, sentient element for the health and well-being of future generations and indeed, for the very spirit of Earth itself.
