My name is Gennua. My family is from this area called No Where. I love the ocean but my favourite place to spend my alone time is on the beautiful ocean bed blending with the colourful corals, I really love my home not only because it is my home its because of my loving and caring family and friends and the beautiful colour that my home displays.
Name: Nancy Naawi
Language: Torres Strait, Creole
Community: Darnley Island
I was born in Thursday Island and grew up on Darnley Island. I have always been interested in making things. I have always crocheted and enjoyed sewing and handcrafts. Since joining the art centre I have gained confidence in myself as an artist and I want to do things that represent myself, my family and my surroundings from before time to these modern times that we live in. I am presently enjoying weaving and making bags and three-dimensional forms from ghost nets.
