Artist Description (by Lucas Schober): This artwork was created in line with the Our Islands Our Home Campaign, to share a message which is vital to the preservation and continuation of Zenadth Kes culture, a call that we as Torres Strait Islanders are putting out to (the world)/(all).
As sea levels rise and our once synchronised cycle of weather patterns and seasonal customs become more and more unstable due to the ongoing and direct effects of climate change, we demand that action is taken now before our (cultures are)/(culture is) lost forever.
Out from the bu shell and weaving throughout the palm trees and hibiscus flows the essence of our call to action. The intricate details tell our stories which we share to all other nations, a message which we hope will not only be heard but acted upon. The call of this shell rallies all to come together to meet, listen and feel – to Protect our Islands.Arist: Lucas Schober, Musu Arts

The green represents the land, the black represents the people, and the blue the sea.

This product is Ally Friendly.
Ally friendly merch is for everyone.
When we see non-Indigenous people wearing our designs, we feel proud that they are repping our merch and culture.
When we see Aboriginal designs in the world, it means Indigenous people are not invisible in the landscape.
But, purchasing from Aboriginal brands, businesses and wearing Indigenous designs alone is surface-level allyship. There needs to be more commitment than just buying from Aboriginal brands and businesses.
Wearing Aboriginal design is not dismantling a system that oppresses Indigenous people. Allies need to do more and learn more. Wearing our tees is a great starting point. We have equipped you with our merch and some of the educational content to go with them. We want you to go out in the world, have these important conversations and find ways to do more and support more.
1. Follow Our Islands Our Home on Instagram and share a post.
2. Sign the petition there is an urgent need for the federal government to fund seawalls across the Torres Strait. Advancing seas are already threatening homes and damaging fresh water supplies, crops, burial grounds and sacred cultural sites.
Join us in calling on the Albanese Government to increase funding for seawalls.
3. Make a donation to power the Our Islands Our Home campaign.
