Description | Acclaimed Torres Strait Islander artist, Ken Thaiday Snr, presents a major new installation at Carriageworks [...]
Inspired by the landscape of the Torres Strait and the importance of family, faith and culture, Thaiday's work explores the intersection of traditional lore with contemporary life. The installation will showcase a wide range of the artist's works, traversing dance, installation and kinetic sculpture as he bends traditional customs with modern materials to tell the stories of communities whose culture is inseparable from the land and life of the Torres Strait. |
