The young Aboriginal artists featured on this site are direct descendants of the traditional owners of Adjahdura Land - they express in their paintings the connection they have with their country and sea.
  
Dreaming stories and cultural knowledge have been handed down, from generation to generation, for thousands of years. Their life experiences, spiritual connection to country and culture can be seen in their work - the sea in particular is a major influence because three quarters of their country is bordered by sea and their Aboriginal community (Point Pearce) is located by the sea.
  
Growing up hunting and gathering from the sea - listening to elders Dreaming stories - understanding the meaning of these stories and cultural landscapes - form strong influences in their work.
 
They have had difficult lives - they live in poverty - and most have been in trouble with the law. It’s a tough life growing up in an Aboriginal community that has trouble with violence, drugs and alcohol addiction. But Point Pearce and Adjahdura Land (Yorke Peninsula, South Australia) is their home and sanctuary and their connection to the spirit world. No matter where they go, their country is part of them and they are part of their country.
