A collaborative exhibition by Bidyadanga Artists & Martumili Artists

Join us at FORM Gallery & Café on 15 April 2026 for Many Stories, One Desert.

This powerful exhibition brings together artists from Bidyadanga and Martumili, two leading First Nations art centres from the Kimberley and Pilbara regions of Western Australia.

While each centre reflects its own distinct artistic traditions, this exhibition reveals the deep cultural and social connections that span Country.

Through bold, evocative works, the artists share stories that continue to shape their communities, culture and creative practices today.

"When I’m not in the desert, I feel like I want to paint about it, and painting makes me feel like I want to be there. It’s important to paint about the Country because our Elders looked after the Country long before us."

— Chloe Jadai, Martu artist

In respect of the wishes of Community, the opening will be a dry event.
