Tarnanthi - Mirdilyayanthi – to Shine Bright

Five contemporary artists reveal how the process of art-making helps them to express personal stories and connect with their Aboriginal heritage. These influential artists are breaking ground in their fields and creating positive pathways for themselves and others for the future. This exhibition, presented in a health environment under the Women’s & Children’s Hospital Foundation’s Arts in Health program, seeks to enrich and inspire the experiences for young patients in their wellness journey.

‘Making artwork for me is compulsory to the way I live. It is a therapy to help me work through things and keeps me staying strong.’ – Thomas Readett
