Animals have played a central part in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and spiritual beliefs for over 60,000 years. Native fauna form an integral part of relationships with Country, in community and are a foundation of economies, identity and sustainability. Over many millennia of co-existence animals have been central to survival as a food source; for First Nations people they are also absorbed into lore and culture as images of totemic power, and into the ancestral creation stories that link people, land and animals. Great and small is a celebration of these connections. Please note that the display will be closed to the public from 7-11 December for the Gallery to complete artwork rotation.
