Selected from submissions across the country, Paralpi by Zaachariaha Fielding was chosen as the official poster for National NAIDOC Week 2026.

Zaachariaha Fielding is a proud Yankunytjatjara man from the APY Lands in South Australia and is widely recognised as one of the country’s leading contemporary First Nations artists and musicians. Known internationally through the acclaimed music duo Electric Fields Music, his work brings together language, sound, visual storytelling and culture in deeply powerful and contemporary ways.

Paralpi reflects movement, energy and continuity, carrying the stories of Ancestors forward while celebrating the creativity and cultural power of the next generation. Rich in colour and symbolism, the artwork speaks to the enduring strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples over the past 50 years of NAIDOC and beyond.

Through this work, Zaachariaha honours the resilience of community, the importance of language and identity, and the ongoing cultural renaissance being led by First Nations peoples across the country and across the APY Lands.

National NAIDOC Week runs from 5-12 July 2026 with this year's theme marking '50 Years of Deadly'.

The Zenadth Kes/Torres Strait Islander flag was designed by the late Bernard Namok of Waiben/Thursday Island.

The flag was recognised by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission in June 1992 and has had equal prominence with the Aboriginal flag for more than 30 years as an official flag of Australia under Commonwealth legislation.

The meaning of the Torres Strait Islander flag is represented through:
🟩 Green: Land
🟦 Blue: Sea
⬜ White: Peace
⬛ Black: The Torres Strait Islander peoples

At the centre of the Torres Strait Islander flag is a dhari (headdress) that represents the Torres Strait Islander peoples, and a five-pointed star that represents the five major island groups, and the role of navigation in this sea-faring culture.
