Curated by Shonae Hobson
Life On The River brings together a series of new photographs by multidisciplinary artist Naomi Hobson. Taken during the wet season, the images capture Coen’s vibrant river culture and the relationships between the people and Wukaanta – The Coen River. These works highlight the centrality of the river to life in Coen.
