Place Called Home

Tammy Law, a Brisbane photographer, will be exhibiting in Cell Art Space for the month of August to coincide with Cairns Indigenious Art Fair (CIAF).

“Mona Mona is a place that doesn’t appear on some Queensland maps. Its history is complex; its future uncertain. The members of this Indigenous community are fighting to make the best of what they have.”

In March 2009, the state government announced they would evacuate the former mission and Indigenous community of Mona Mona. The fifty remaining residents still live on the land, but Mona Mona was low on the state government’s list of priorities, declaring infrastructure and the renewing of housing to be discontinued.

Tammy Law received a BA in Photography (Photojournalism) from Griffith University. Tammy earned a place in the YAMP 2009 (Young Artists Mentoring Program). Place Called Home will be exhibited as part of Cairns Indigenous Art Fair 2010.
