Description
DescriptionLarge format colourful mural from First Nations artist with dots and lines installed on the underside of the shelter.Artist StatementTrade Routes is a large format, brightly coloured mural work installed on the underside of a shade pavilion. It describes the “song, dance and stories that were traded along these routes, keeping people connected”. The mural features a colour palette of deep blue for salt water, light blue/green for fresh water, yellow for sand, brown for earth and orange for the desert, and represents the tradition of travel and trade between Aboriginal people. The work was informed by feedback from local Elders and promotes the celebration and sharing of First Nations cultural heritage in Ipswich.
This commission supported a young, female First Nations artist to create a significant public artwork to develop her professional practice. She has since gone on to win the Telstra Emerging Artist award at the 2021 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards (NATSIAA), and to create a series of other public artworks within Australia.
These works exemplify the collaborative practice model with First Nations artists, supported by experienced public art project managers and fabricators. The result respects cultural heritage and celebrates First Nations stories in a high-profile public setting. The consultation engaged almost 400 First Nations community members in the development of ideas for Tulmur place, which in turn created a strong First Nations presence, connecting the wider community to their traditional lands, stories and culture. This connection to place, and establishment of a strong identity within Ipswich Central, encourages public discourse and community connection.
