Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research UTS
Maddison Gibbs is a graduate in animation from the Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building. She says that to create her work she considered Jumbunna’s purpose as a hub and safe space for Indigenous students. Dedicated Indigenous spaces such as Jumbunna can help to make universities
and other institutions more approachable and culturally safe for Indigenous students.
“I’ve acknowledged traditional imagery in creating personal contemporary multidimensional landscapes and imagery,” she explains. ”My images refer to smoke, campsites, industrial waste, sea currents and migrations, fish traps and more. “The patterns and designs are meant to draw the eye, start conversations and make a statement that we are proud, our culture is alive, and this always was and always will be Aboriginal land.”
