In this exhibition, nine ancestral woven objects held in the Australian Museum collection will return to Country for Bulaan Buruugaa Ngali - we weave together.
These historic pieces stand alongside ten newly commissioned works by contemporary Bundjalung, Yaegl, Gumbaynggirr, and Kamilaroi (Gamilaroi) artists, who have drawn from their great grandmothers' wisdom to breathe new life into ancient weaving traditions. Featuring Bindimu, Casino Wake Up Time, Janelle Duncan, Madeleine Grace, Lauren Jarrett, Tania Marlowe, Bianca Monaghan, Krystal Randall, Rhoda Roberts AO, Kyra Togo and Margaret Torrens.
Curated by Kylie Caldwell.
