In a project designed to promote cultural exchange, Extension Manager Ms Bryony Barnett has worked with students from Townsville’s Barrier Reef Institute of TAFE Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Unit, to produce prints based on marine themes.

Inspired by ‘sea stories’ drawn from the CRC Reef brochure series and a visit to Reef HQ, eleven Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island art students printed designs of crown-of-thorns starfish, coral trout, bleached coral and dugong.

Prints purchased by CRC Reef will enhance our website and print products, and assist in communication with Traditional Owner groups. A selection of the prints feature in the annual exhibition ‘Tribalmania’ at the Perc Tucker
Regional Gallery, Townsville, between 26 November and 12 December.
