Netflix has commissioned original artwork for a curated collection of First Nations films to mark NAIDOC Week, the annual observance that runs from the first to the second Sunday in July. The week has its roots in the Day of Mourning in 1938, during which Indigenous Australians protested the multiple crimes and abuses carried out against them in the 150 years since the arrival of the First Fleet.
Luke Mallie, an artist of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island descent, has created the artwork Rainbow Serpent Dreaming, which features on Netflix’s new First Nations Forever page, which has a ‘curated selection of 30 titles centred on Indigenous Australian perspectives’.
