Loretta Glanville Artist Statement 

I grew up in the Torres Strait. I am from a cultural background where my parents taught me about the local knowledge of the land. I have leaved on Kubin, Moa Island during my childhood and I’m from a family of 10. I would like to tell a particular stories and make a small film on my knowledge of Gelam, Seek, Yalbuz, Kara may and Murarath.

Moa Arts

Moa Arts is the trading name of Ngalmun Lagau Minaral, which means ‘our island’s design’.
We are an Indigenous owned and operated Art Centre on Mua Island in the western cluster of Zenadth Kes – the Torres Strait.
Through our artwork we keep Mualgal traditions and Zenadth Kes arts and culture strong for everyone.
Creative inspiration for the work at Moa Arts comes from Mualgal ancestral stories, totemic representation and connections to sea, land, sky and family. Mua’s artists don’t have to look far to be inspired. The island and its surrounding waters and reefs hold a diverse set of land and marine ecosystems with niches for many rare and unique species such as dugong and sea turtle.
