EPISODE: ENVIRONMENT

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are part of the oldest ongoing culture in the world, with an intimate knowledge of seasonal change and the importance of caring for Country. This respect for the natural environment is reflected in art, through works that celebrate the atmospherics of country and works that highlight environmental degradation.
