Jack Green is an artist and activist born in the early 1950s under a Coolibah tree on Soudan Station on the Barkley Tablelands, Wakaya country. He is a Mambaliya man, Garrwa on his father’s side and Marra on his mother’s side. He grew up on cattle stations, travelling with kin for ceremonies, and settled in Borroloola in the early 1970s. Jack uses his art to campaign for land rights and the protection of his traditional Country and region, particularly against the adverse impacts of mining.
