Bett Gallery presents a group exhibition.

The art of shell stringing is a valued palawa cultural tradition that has remained intact and continued without interruption since before white settlement; it is a tradition that is many thousands of years old. This exhibition sees this important tradition continue to thrive in a contemporary sense, as the art of stringing is passed down from generation to generation. Mother teaching Daughter. Grandmother teaching Granddaughter.
