Join artist and Kalkadoon (Kalkadunga) knowledge holder Colleen Sam for an exclusive tour of her exhibition The unbroken spirit of the Kalkadoons. Colleen will guide you through her powerful exhibition of artworks and oral histories which reveal her families’ story of resistance and survival during one of the darkest periods in Queensland’s colonial past.
