Fiona Foley is an acclaimed Aboriginal Australian artist known for using her art to raise awareness about Aboriginal histories and cultures. As an artist from the Batdjala people, who are the original inhabitants of Fraser Island, Foley feels a responsibility to advocate for her people and land through her work. Her art addresses the colonization of Australia and its devastating impacts on Aboriginal communities, such as the massacres and forced removals that destroyed Batdjala society. Foley aims to educate non-Indigenous audiences about concealed or whitewashed aspects of Australian history through challenging and attacking ignorance. She is considered a "cultural warrior" for using her platform and art to defend Aboriginal culture and further important political causes.
