Mangkaja 30 Years Strong commemorates and celebrates thirty years of art creation at the Mangkaja Arts Centre. Over this time, Mangkaja has creatively boomed becoming a vital part of the local community in Fitzroy Crossing. The artists have become widely known for their bold, loud and dynamic styles, experimenting with a range of media, expressive colours and free-flowing forms. The Mangkaja artists bring stories of country and First Nations cosmology alive, as well as mixing in ideas of social justice, displacement, environmentalism and the world beyond.
