Strait Home
This event is now in the past.
Welcome to Strait Home at the State Library of Queensland, where you could hear, experience and share stories from the Torres Strait Islands.
The exhibition closed on 23 Oct 2011.
The State Library holds some of the most unique and significant Torres Strait Islander documentary material in Australia.
The treasures in our collection have inspired interactive exhibitions, conversations, installations and performances, creating opportunities to learn about the people, history and culture of the Torres Strait Islands.
Over four months, Strait Home invited you to keep culture strong by connecting with this integral part of Queensland and Australia’s Indigenous heritage.
Strait Home was part of The Torres Strait Islands: A Celebration [new window]. Cultural Centre partners, State Library, Gallery of Modern Art, Queensland Museum and Queensland Performing Arts Centre, joined forces to showcase the diversity and vibrancy of historical and contemporary arts and culture of Torres Strait Islander Australians.
