WARNING: This resource features the name and image of a deceased Aboriginal person.

Esme Timbery is an elder of the La Perouse Aboriginal community. Her works are held in the collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia.

La Perouse is the only suburb in Sydney where Aboriginal people have kept their territory from settlement, and its history is a story of the survival of Indigenous culture.

Find out how Esme’s contemporary art-making is a celebration of traditional practice. You’ll use social media conventions as the context for your own artwork as you make and share a journey of discovery.
