NAVIGATE: The Exhibition Catalogue| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6




During 2000 the Elders of Moa Island in the Western Torres Strait agreed to set up a print studio in Kubin Village so that four young printmakers could record the Island's special creation stories utilising their skill at carving in lino blocks. Gelam, My Son is the name the Elders have given their first exhibition which marks the first time that traditional Moa Island stories have been recorded in a visual medium.

Gelam, the dugong is the primary totem of the people of Moa. The name of the exhibition is taken from the legend of Gelam and his mother, Usar.
