"My connection to Shoalhaven is through my grandfather, and my great grandmother who were born and raised in Jerrinja. This fellowship will allow me to express my connection to the South Coast and my sense of belonging on Country".
Aaron Kennedy is the 2026 winner of the Ngaoara Fellowship, and annual opportunity at Shoalhaven Regional Gallery to support emerging First Nations artists. Creatures of the South Coast will feature a series of lino prints representing significant local animals and three new digital animations. Aaron will work with Elders and the community to bring knowledge of South Coast Country to the exhibition showcasing a strong and thriving culture.
Aaron William Kennedy is a proud Jerrinja and Djirringanj, Yuin man from the Yuin Nation. Born and raised in Sydney, NSW. Finishing a BFA with Honours at UNSW Art and Design, he is majoring in Printmaking and Painting. Inspired by a school-based immersion program in Yulara, NT, exposure to Central Desert art is what started his journey in the arts. Aaron continues to travel to the NSW South Coast to learn from Country and his Elders.
This project was made possible by the Australian Governments Regional Arts Fund, which supports the arts in regional and remote Australia.
