Pride – Original Aboriginal Cultural Pride Painting
Pride is an original Aboriginal cultural pride painting by Indigenous Australian artist Stevie Jean. This contemporary acrylic artwork celebrates the strength, survival, resilience and cultural identity of Aboriginal people.
Our history and the word resilience are often spoken about with great pride.
I am one of many who feel immense pride in my people’s history, survival, resilience and our cultural and spiritual identity.
The Story Behind Pride
For me, pride comes from knowing the strength of our people and the importance of our cultural heritage.
Despite the hardships and injustices our Ancestors endured, our cultures, identities and connections to Country continue.
Our history carries stories of survival, determination and resilience. These stories remind us of the strength of those who came before us.
Through Pride, I wanted to express the deep respect and pride I feel for my people, our history and our enduring cultural identity.
Aboriginal Resilience and Cultural Identity
Our cultural and spiritual identity is an important part of who we are.
It connects us to our families, our Ancestors, our communities and Country.
Although our people have faced many challenges, we continue to celebrate and maintain our cultural connections.
This Aboriginal cultural pride painting reflects the importance of recognising our history while celebrating the strength of our living cultures.
It is a personal expression of respect, resilience and pride.
