Art Exhibition: Claudia's Story
featuring Claudia Janice Moodoonuthi
Woolloongabba Art Gallery
"Throughout the development of modern Aboriginal
art there are many instances of Indigenous people
reconnecting to their heritage through art. Rarely
though, does one witness this in an artist of such
a young age as Claudia Moodoonuthi. Born on
the small and largely isolated Bentinck Island in
the Gulf of Carpentaria in 1995 Moodoonoothi is
already proving a formidable art talent." By Susan McCulloch
