Retail First Pty Ltd is celebrating NAIDOC Week across its portfolio of shopping centres and has once again partnered with Zowie to showcase another of her remarkable artworks.
Zowie has been collaborating with Retail First for several years, and her artwork has been featured prominently during NAIDOC Week for the past three years. In 2023, she also contributed a piece to Toowong Village’s Heart Gallery, and her artwork plays a significant role in supporting our Acknowledgement of Country across the shopping centres and online platforms. Zowie, a local artist, brings a unique perspective rooted in her heritage, which includes the Kombumerri people of South Stradbroke Island and the Butchulla people of Maryborough and K’gari.
This year’s NAIDOC Week theme, chosen by the National NAIDOC Committee, is “Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud & Proud.” This theme celebrates the enduring strength and vitality of First Nations cultures, where fire symbolizes the deep connection to Country, to community, and to the diverse traditions that define Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Retail First Pty Ltd is privileged to collaborate with Zowie, whose work beautifully embodies and honors this theme.
You can view Zowie’s work throughout any Retail First shopping centre this week. Happy NAIDOC.
