ANWERNEKENHE- Us Mob painting by Gloria Beckett

The Story in the Painting "ANWERNEKENHE – Us Mob"
by Gloria Beckett
The painting represents the coming together of the indigenous Gay men and Sista-girls from across Australia who attended the First National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Gay men and Transgender Sexual Health Conference held at Hamilton Downs, on the 31 October – 4 November 1994.

The word “Anwernekenhe” meaning ‘Us Mob’ is the name permitted to be used as the respected traditional name for the conference by the Arrernte people, on whose land the conference was held. Sadly the artist Aunty Gloria Beckett passed away in Brisbane in 2003.
