Cheryl Moggs is an Indigenous Australian teacher and artist, notable for her watercolor paintings. She is also a photographer, works in textiles and weaves baskets. Her artwork "tarmunggie-woman" won the 2018 poster contest for the National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) Week.
The first NAIDOC poster was created in 1972 to promote "Aborigines Day", which had been established as part of a campaign for better rights for Aboriginal people. The posters continued to reflect the spirit of protest until 1977, with titles like "Self Determination" and "Chains or Chance".
