Our 2024 Indigenous Nationals artwork was created by Brittney Angus, a visionary Wiradjuri & Ngunnawal graphic designer and digital artist.
Cultural authenticity is at the heart of her creation, weaving ancient narratives and contemporary design.
The work combines symbolic motifs, bold colours, and modern aesthetics, a vibrant storytelling experience that connects audiences to the rich tapestry of Aboriginal culture.
Brittney sees her role not just as a graphic designer but as a storyteller and bridge-builder in visual communication, connecting history & culture in modern, contemporary environments.
