Bundjalung and beyond are lands steeped in complex woven histories and identities. Bulaan Buruugaa Ngali shares the histories and identities of women who bring forth ancient weaving practices and knowledge systems.

Touring to three regional galleries located on Bundjalung Country, NSW (Grafton, Lismore and Murwillumbah), this ground-breaking exhibition presents new work by contemporary First Nations artists who have responded to their great grandmother’s artistry of weaving.

Shown alongside historic ancestral woven objects from the Australian Museum collection, are new works by weavers 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 that breathe new life into ancient weaving traditions.

Opening event: Saturday 22 February, 2pm
