Brian Robinson on growing up on Waiben (Thursday Island) and his new exhibition Ur Wayii (Incoming Tide)

Brian Robinson joined us on Out of the Blue to chat about his new exhibition, Ur Wayii (Incoming Tide), currently showing at the Australian National Maritime Museum. Born on Waiben (Thursday Island) and now based in Cairns, Brian is of the Kala Lagaw Ya and Wuthathi language groups of the Torres Strait. We spoke about the influence his upbringing in the tropical marine environment around Waiben has had on his arts practice, along with some of the other ancestral, cultural and pop culture symbols and stories that shape his work. Image credit: Marinco Kojdanovski - exhibition image of Ur Wayii (Incoming Tide), used with permission.
