Fiona Foley is a Badtjala woman, artist and an academic from K’gari (Fraser Island), Queensland, Australia. Her film Out of the Sea like a Cloud draws on the oldest known Aboriginal song, which records the Badtjala sighting of Captain Cook and crew on the Endeavour, as it sailed past Takky Wooroo, K’gari/ Fraser Island in 1770. Foley brings Indigenous Knowledges to the fore of the film by profiling and building upon the surviving words of the Badtjala song handed down over generations of Badtjala oral history.
