Weave & Mend
Our WayAdded by Wik & Kugu
Description At the end of 2008 dry season three senior Anangu-Pitantjara artists and weavers from the remote community of Kalka, Central Australia visited the remote community of Aurukun in Far North Queensland to share with community members their skills and knowledge on the creation of three dimensional sculptural weavings.
The project aimed to create pathways where women of diverse remote communities not only share their traditional practices and experiences but also get the interest and motivation of the younger ones.
Wik, Wik Waya and Kugu women already have their own strong traditional style of weaving, but were willing to explore different ways of creating weavings. Especially some of the women wanted to learn how to make
animals, totems and other things.
