Celebrate the Torres Strait Islander Flag
with Caleb Thaiday

Celebrate the 34th anniversary of the Torres Strait Islander Flag and learn more about the story behind one of Australia’s most important national symbols.

Designed in 1992 by the late Bernard Namok after winning a competition held by the Islands Coordinating Council, the flag’s striking blue, green, white and black design represents the sea, land, culture and people of Zenadth Kes (Torres Strait), as well as the different island groups across the region.

Join Caleb Thaiday (Meriam/Erub Kebi Le) for a special community workshop exploring the history and meaning of the flag, before creating your own personal tribute through creating a custom bracelet or key ring.

• All materials supplied.
• The workshop is free, but places are limited. Bookings essential.

While we remain dedicated to providing our programs at no charge, we would be deeply grateful for any contribution you may wish to make in support of our work. Every donation, no matter the size, helps us continue delivering culturally rich and accessible experiences for community and visitors alike.
