Each year the Don Dunstan Foundation supports an award at the SALA festival for a work that explores social just themes.
This year’s award went to Mia Fan for her beautiful painting of Dr Joanne Buckskin.
Mia uses traditional Chinese ink painting techniques and materials in her work, which explores themes such as migration, heritage, and identity.
SALA said that “through her delicate portrait of Dr Joanne Buckskin on rice paper scroll, Mia sought to celebrate Dr Buckskin’s educational spirit and rich cultural heritage, and ultimately embodied the values of the Don Dunstan Foundation.”
