The Gweagal Shield
‘The Gweagal Shield’, now held in the British Museum, aims to illustrate the initial interactions between Aboriginal people and Captain James Cook and his crew in Botany Bay in 1770. Beyond the shield, and the spears that were taken, the artwork speaks to the broader dispossession of land, culture, resources and environment that this day represents.
