Returning to an in-person event this year, the announcement of this year’s Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards (Telstra NATSIAA) winners on Friday night was an especially heartening moment for community and sector alike.
The prestigious awards are headlined by the open category prize – a career-shaping opportunity. This year the category’s $100,000 Award has gone to Margaret Rarru Garrawurra, Senior Yolŋu artist from Laŋarra, Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory.
