A survey of exhibition by Australia’s first Nations women artists
presented by Mossenson Galleries
in conjunction with MAF and Mossenson Art Collection
 
 
Women have long been regarded as important carriers of tradition, history, and culture in their communities. This is particularly so in First Nations communities where women are able to use their artistic skills to produce items, that through the very nature of the methodology of their creation and use, support the preservation of knowledge, cultural practices and community traditions.

Carriers of Culture focuses on the works of Australian First Nations female artists who have produced containers in a variety of mediums and styles. The works in the exhibition, sourced primarily from a private collection, reflect on more than twenty years of women’s creativity in a variety of mediums. The exhibition includes narbong galang by Lorraine Connelly Northey, baskets by Daisy Nadjungdanga, Marilyn Gurmundal, dilly bags by Mary Marambamba ,ghost net baskets by Maria Ware, woven bottles by Robyn Djunginy, bowls created by Central Desert artists and coolamons by Peggy Grffiths.

The exhibition runs at Mossenson Galleries,115 Hay St, Subiaco 6008.
