From textiles to cultural adornment to earthy vessels and skilled weaving reflecting the Kaiela-Dungala (Goulburn Murray) region of Victoria, this exhibition showcased the work from emerging and established artists from Kaiela Arts Shepparton.

Kaiela-Dungala, 29 February - 19 April 2020

At the beginning of 2020 I curated Kaiela Dungala & Vessels of Life, while working for the Koorie Heritage Trust. Their building is located in Melbournes’ iconic Federation Square.

Developed in partnership with Kaiela Arts Shepparton, Kaiela Dungala is an exploration of country, responding to the ebb and flow of the Kaiela Dungala (Goulburn Murray) river system. With a rich Indigenous heritage, the Kaiela Dungala region is home to many talented artists. Artists in this exhibition included: Suzanne Atkinson, Tammy-Lee Atkinson, Amy Briggs, Eric Brown, Dylan Charles, Cynthia Hardie, Eva Ponting, Norm Stewart and Brett Wilson.
