About the showcase

Culture Love is a showcase celebrating the creativity and cultural pride of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people and their roles as cultural ambassadors. It began as a thriving school holiday program engaging youth, Elders, artists, and musicians, delivered through Indigenous Knowledge Centres located in regional Queensland communities from 2009 to 2013.

Featuring visual art, animation, photography, storytelling, and music, the showcase explores how young people from regional and remote Queensland communities’ express identity through diverse creative forms drawing on traditional stories and language.

In recognition of the NAIDOC Week 2025 theme – The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy, the exhibition highlights the significance of youth as cultural leaders and knowledge-holders. It pays tribute to the Elders and artists who have guided the work and honours the legacy of a program now preserved in State Library's collection.

Culture Love invites you to connect with powerful stories of culture, creativity, and community – past, present, and future.
