Dive into the sparkling waters of the Quandamooka this summer with mother-daughter artists Sonja and Elisa Jane Carmichael. Both are proud Ngugi women from Minjerribah on Quandamooka Country.
Creating alongside one another and other family members, the Carmichaels have worked to revive Quandamooka cultural practices once thought lost, and in doing so, they've created a living connection between past and present.
This summer, come and learn how creating art with someone you love can deepen connections, foster a sense of belonging, and celebrate the enduring power of family and culture.
Deep Blue is the second in a series of exhibitions focused on wellbeing. It invites you to discover how making and experiencing art together can strengthen bonds and spark creativity.
Pine Rivers Art Gallery is open from Tuesday to Saturday, 10am-4pm.
