Vincent Babia is a descendant of the Ait Kodal (Crocodile clan) and Samu (Cassowary clan) from Saibai Island and his family is one of many that relocated from Saibai to mainland Australia in the 1940s and 50s.

He is a highly regarded sculptor of ceremonial masks, canoes and drums with works represented in the National Gallery of Australia. His Cairns Art Gallery exhibition traces the stories of Saibai Island culture and the pearl luggers’ journeys from the island to the mainland, through sculptures and related vinyl cut prints.

Our Indigenous Artists Hub program has successfully helped in creating a much higher brand awareness through developing promotional material and an online ecommerce store to easily sell and distribute his services.
