"Still We Rise, Still We Shine"
This painting celebrates 50 years of NAIDOC and the enduring strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
The interconnected circles represent generations, communities and stories, each unique, yet always connected. The 5 circle gatherings represent the 5 decades of NAIDOC. The artwork reflects time flowing through past, present and future, showing culture as living and continuing.
The winding pathways symbolise the journey of the last 50 years of NAIDOC, marked by resilience, pride and community. The vibrant colours honour what it means to be Deadly: strength, brilliance and survival.
After 50 years, we are still here.
Still strong.
Still deadly.
