Read some of the artwork stories below:

Kebi Nam

“My lino print represents baby Green Turtles, which we call Kebi Nam. We would go by dinghy to Merad sandcay, not far from my island home. We would spend the day fishing or diving. Sometimes we would dig for turtle eggs. One day we watched hundreds of baby turtles crawling down the beach to the water. All of us kids would sit and watch and wonder about the life ahead for them, knowing the dangers they were about to face. My parents let me take two for pets. I was so happy to have a pet. I was responsible for changing their water each day and getting food for them. I looked after them until they grew too big for their tanks. Then it was time for them to be released back to the sea.”

Keriba Galbol by Kapua Gutchen Snr

“Galbol is the ocean whale in my native Erubam language of Erub (Darnley Island) in eastern Torres Strait. This wonderful creature inhabits the deep blue sea near my home island. Since time immemorial this graceful giant of the deeps has been respected by my people. As “aukarem era kodau lubabat” meaning ‘principle totem of the deep sea’. ‘Galbol’ is also called “Au zogo zogo gurlukargiz “ meanining ‘very sacred entity of the sea’, and is respected as such. Galbol is never hunted by my Torres Strait Islander people for food or for any other use. On a fine clear day from the top of the hills of Erub or perhaps when you are boating in the main channel you may catch sight of these amazing mammals of the wide blue ocean.”
