Water Connects Us All – Nickolla Clark
Details
“Waterways have sustained Bundjalung for centuries, they are the bloodline of Country. Hundreds of years ago colonial powers crossed oceans to breach uninvited, living rivers and tributaries on the sovereign lands of many nations. Ever since, water and colonisation have become inextricably linked.”
Water Connects Us All by Arakwal Bundjalung artist Nickolla Clark celebrates the traditional practices of Bundjalung people and their rich cultural heritage associated with water. Clark’s works share important messages taught by her ancestors – the matriarchs who strongly advocated for the health of Country – and call attention to the ongoing sense of urgency to sustain waterways from further damage.
Recipient of the Bundjalung Award, Wollumbin Art Award 2024, sponsored by the Tweed Regional Gallery Foundation Ltd. A Tweed Regional Gallery initiative.
