Indigenous Australian art encompasses a diverse range of artistic expressions created by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This art often reflects the deep connection these communities have with their land, culture, and spirituality. Common forms include painting, weaving, and sculpture, with traditional techniques passed down through generations. A significant aspect of Indigenous Australian art is the use of symbols and patterns, which convey stories and cultural knowledge. Many artworks feature elements of the Dreamtime, a foundational aspect of Indigenous spirituality that explains the creation of the world and its inhabitants. This art serves not only as a form of expression but also as a means of preserving cultural heritage.
