Gulamanmanha: Bringing Something Closer (Wajarri)

Cost

Fusing ancient practices with contemporary form and materials, GULAMANMANHA is a testament to the continuous, living, and thriving culture of the Yamaji people.

This exhibition honours the revival of cultural belongings with works made by Yamaji artists in response to ancestral belongings held for over 125 years in the Alexander Morton Collection at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG). In collaboration with Yamaji Art, designer Nicole Monks has worked closely with Community to create a powerful collection of traditional kangaroo skin cloaks, to be gifted to TMAG in return for Yamaji ancestral belongings. These cloaks and body adornments, created on Country, from Country, present deeply personal responses to belongings held within institutions nationwide.
