Naidoc Week Poster

Today is the start of NAIDOC week in Australia. NAIDOC stands for National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee.

NAIDOC Week celebrates the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

I saw this poster on a wall at Belmont Hospital when we were there last Wednesday and I just loved the artwork.

The 2021 National NAIDOC Poster, ‘Care for Country’ was designed by Gubbi Gubbi artist Maggie-Jean Douglas.

@kjarn Are you in lockdown where you live? From what I have seen on the news so many people in Sydney are simply ignoring the lockdown, it will only make things worse and extend the agony.

Beautiful poster. Great colours and patterns.

[Kathy A]

Yes I am, its supposed to be all of greater Sydney but I also saw many people breaking the rules. I went to the fruit shop today, it was packed and I was the only one wearing a mask!

Beautiful capture and a lovely piece of artwork. I may be mistaken but I think I have seen a picture very similar to this some time ago coming from you.

@sangwann you haven't seen this picture before, it has only just been created for the 2021 NAIDOC week poster. Each aboriginal art picture is unique because they all have an individual meaning and story. I often post photos of aboriginal art and posted some recently at the John Hunter hospital

Great poster

[Ann H. LeFevre]

The Aboriginal art is really so interesting. I really like how the shapes and colors come together in the drawings. I'm glad that it has not become a lost art and continues on today with new artists.

I LOVE aboriginal art from Australia! My husband's first academic appointment was at LaTrobe and on one of our month-long trips to celebrate a friend's birthday in Australia, we acquired several pieces so our house looks more Australian than Japanese! Yes, your capture of this poster brings us feelings of appreciation for this art.
