Established by the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory in 1984 the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards recognises and celebrates the diversity of Indigenous art throughout Australia.

With a total cash prize of $190,000 – including $100,000 for the major prize – it’s arguably Australia’s richest art prize.

This year, Noli Rictor’s expert use of colour and composition has captured the judges’ attention and won him the major prize.

NATSIAA judge Katina Davidson along with artists Noli Rictor, Josina Pumani, Natalie Davey, Obed Namirrkki and Shannon Brett discuss the NATSIAAs from Larrakia Country.
