No greater is the impact of our global climate challenge felt than by our neighbouring Pacific Islands. Among them is Erub (Darnley Island) situated in the eastern part of the Torres Strait, near the Great Barrier Reef.
It has a single grocery store, a school and health centre, and many of its inhabitants continue to speak the traditional language, Meriam Mir. But despite its remoteness, Erub artists have taken their message to the world through artworks created from ‘ghost nets’ – fishing nets that have been dislodged from their moorings, abandoned or discarded.
