We collaborated with Agb Events to create a large scale projection on Cairns City Library of renowned artist, the late Arone Meeks, a Kuku Midigi man, raised in Yarrabah and El Arish, Mission Beach, Far North Queensland, his country being the area around Laura, Cape York.
Spirit Ark is based on Arone’s personal story, as navigated by the stars, the boat being both a symbolic vehicle allowing him to travel to the dreaming whilst making a connection with country, spirit and place. This is a fitting tribute to this man who has given the region so much from his artistic life.
