Women with Clever Hands

i was recently at th musum to help open the women with clever hands exhibition i have to admit i was abit surprised by the lack of preparation fom the museum as to when we shared our techniques

It's refreshing to see works full of colour , to celebrate women,life,culture and Arnhem Land. GIRL POWER!!!!!

i liked the exhibition it was coooooool =)

Hi I am a teacher at St Raphael’s Primary School and I was recently with the school on an excursion. As part of the excursion we visited the Bunjilaka Gallery. While we were there one of our students asked me about Aboriginal art and I was able to show some of the examples of bark painting and other items that you had on display. I was surprised though to find no mention of rock engravings and I asked the guide who admitted that there was no information on display. This is strange because it is clear that rock engravings were a significant part of indigenous culture. Fred Mcarthy in “Australian Rock Art”, a book which I am sure I have seen in your bookshop, says that there are about the same number of rock engravings in Australia as there are rock paintings so to leave them out of a discussion about indigenous art would appear to be a disservice. Anyway, I thought I might mention it and it might be something you want to consider in the future. Thanks Stephen Sharpe Teacher St Raphael’s
