We were extremely fortunate to welcome Aunty Liz and Uncle Ken Thaiday to Tali Gallery to open our ‘For Love of Country’ exhibitions on 23rd November. Â Along with Elisa Jane Carmichael, there was a wonderful spirit of welcome – local children had prepared a welcome card depicting our community for each of these artists. Â It was pleasing to have an artist of world fame who has been practising his craft for some 30 years and then a young emerging artist who also inspired us all. Â Upstairs was the launch of the Indulkana artists’ exhibition – different circumstances again whereby these elderly men had commenced painting their country fairly recently. Â Zoe Reynolds was our non Indigenous Sydney based contributor who also attended and spoke about her first hand experience of the rising seas on Sabai in the Torres Strait Islands. Â Â
