Sea Country - a Great Southern Reef film exploring Tasmanian Aboriginal connection to kelp forests.

Vicki, Dean, Rob and Maddie share a deep connection to the ocean. It connects them to the past, enriches the present and inspires their futures. Dean is an artist, scientist and custodian who turns to sea-country for inspiration in his work. Vicki creates sculptures from kelp – evolving a traditional artform into contemporary designs that depict the beauty and fragility of sea-country. Rob teaches his daughter Maddie the cultural importance of catching a feed – always mindful that sea-country is traditionally women’s country and she must learn when to turn back. This is their connection to sea country.
