TANIA MAJOR •ECHOES OF COUNTRY: STORIES FROM KOWANYAMA
Alcaston Gallery is delighted to present Tania Major’s debut exhibition with Alcaston Gallery, Echoes of Country: Stories from Kowanyama.
A Kokoberra artist from Kowanyama, Cape York in northern Queensland, Australia, Major’s practice draws upon her cultural heritage and enduring connection to her land and waters. Her work explores themes of identity and spirituality, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of the knowledge held by the Kokoberra, Yir Yoront, (Kokomenjen) and Kunjen clans; the Traditional Owners and descendants of the Lower Mitchell and Alice River.
An artist, activist, and former Young Australian of the Year, Major first came to prominence in 2004 as the youngest person elected to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC).
Tania Major’s debut solo exhibition will be exhibited at the Alcaston Gallery Exhibition Space, 84 William Street Melbourne from 13 November - 6 December 2024.
