'Culture is Life' draws from the archives of pre-eminent Aboriginal photographer Wayne Quilliam. It is a collection of images and interviews with Indigenous people across the country.

Through this incredible collection, Wayne’s work explores the nuances of Indigenous thinking and identity, and focuses on how the First Peoples view their place within today’s culture of Australia.

The people featured in Culture is Life include many high-profile Indigenous Australians, as well as community members of different ages from Tasmania to the Torres Strait, offering insights into the dreams of youth and the reflections of Elders.
