Artwork description

Matthew is a First Nations artist and was inspired to create this picture of the 2005 Cronulla riots, following more recent protests against immigrants and immigration. He seeks to show how the mindset has not changed. Centuries after the initial colonisation of Australia, we are still targeting minority ethnicities. People who are descendants of immigrants themselves, fighting against those seeking a better life in this beautiful country. When will we learn to see each other as human, rather than the colour of skin, or country we were born in? Every single one of us has the right to be recognised as an equal and to live a life of harmony. This artwork has been created using black and white chalk and pencil, to capture the essence and energy of the scene.
