Bonyi season is fast approaching and we are providing an opportunity for five artists to exhibit in our annual bunya show, Bonyi: Living Culture - 8th Feb - 29th March.
Grounded in Country, First Nations weaving, dying and print making practices speak to the stories and cultural knowledges carried across time. In the same way that weaving practices supported Ancestral past and being, weaving, dying and print making practices in the present remain a vital means of cultural continuity and connection to storied places, to lineage and to belonging for First Nations peoples.
We invite you to apply to exhibit in this years celebration of the Bonyi season at Munimba-ja Art Centre on Kabi Kabi and Jinibara Country.
Five emerging artists will be selected to make and exhibit work that incorporates weaving, natural dying and printmaking as they respond to the continuing culture of bonyi season.
