This Lunar New Year, journey through time and culture with the First Nations Rainbow Serpent art installation, a captivating display that explores the rich tapestry of relationships between First Nations Peoples and Chinese Australians. From ancient trading routes to contemporary artistic expressions, this unique installation unveils a fascinating chapter in our shared history.
The Rainbow Serpent by Kyra-Kum-Sing
Kyra is a Malera Bandjalan and Mitakoodi woman from Northern NSW and Cloncurry, QLD. Kyra has paved a unique path within the arts as both an artist and curator. Kyra is the curator at Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-operative and has curated a number of significant exhibitions since 2017.
"The Rainbow Serpent is a dreamtime creation story of how all the lands, mountains, valleys and waterways in this country were originally formed. The Serpent travelled throughout the entire country creating the landscape and all living beings. The gold colour woven throughout the Rainbow Serpent represents both my mother’s Country (Bandjalan) and father’s Country (Mitakoodi). The rainbow colours are the waterways and the black patterns represent the mountains and valleys."
