About the exhibition:
Bundjalung and beyond are lands steeped in complex woven histories and identities. Bulaan Buruugaa Ngali Exhibition shares the histories and identities of women who bring forth ancient weaving practices and knowledge systems.
Held over three regional galleries located on Bundjalung Country in the Northern Rivers region of NSW (Grafton, Lismore, Murwillumbah), this ground-breaking exhibition presents new work by contemporary First Nations artists responding to their great grandmother’s artistry of weaving alongside historic ancestral woven objects from the Australian Museum collection.
Weavers include: 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.
This touring exhibition is presented by Arts Northern Rivers in partnership with the Grafton Regional Gallery, Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre, and Lismore Regional Gallery. This project was made possible by the Indigenous Visual Arts Industry Support Program, the NSW Government through Create NSW, the Dobell Exhibition Grant Program, funded by the Sir William Dobell Art Foundation and managed by Museums & Galleries of NSW, and the Australian Government Regional Arts Fund.
