Josie Nawia Artist Statement 

I was born on Thursday Island and grew my childhood years at Kubin Village, Moa Island. I learn how to grow plants, do gardening and traditional ways for fishing. I love spending time with both of my parents listening to cultural stories. I live with my own family, children and grandchildren here on Kubin. I’ve been working at the Kubin State School – Primary for almost couple of years now. My duty here at the school is an Educator. In the future, I would love to weave more baskets, do painting and drawings. My stories would reflect on my cultural unique stories and environment we live in and our lifestyle. I haven’t been on any exhibition trips ever since I became a Moa Arts member but it would be a great opportunity for me to be apart of one showcase.

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.
