Mervyn Street is a prominent Aboriginal artist and activist from the Gooniyandi and Walmajarri communities in Western Australia. He has gained recognition for his artwork that reflects the life and struggles of Indigenous Australians, particularly focusing on the issue of wage theft that affected his family and community. In 2023, he successfully led a class action against the Western Australian government, resulting in a historic settlement of $180 million for thousands of Aboriginal workers who were denied proper wages. His recent exhibition, 'Stolen Wages', showcases this journey and highlights the importance of cultural heritage and communal living.
