Yolngu artists working at Bula’bula Arts, Ramingining are highly regarded for their unique paintings on bark and canvas, dupun (hollow logs), yidaki (didgeridu), and fibre art such as bush string bags and beautifully woven pandanus mats. A group of renowned Bula’bula fibre artists have collaborated on this project.
Alvaro Catalán de Ocón started the PET Lamp project as a response to the global problem of plastic waste, combining the reclamation of plastic bottles with local textile traditions from around the world. The project explores possibilities for design collaborations with Indigenous artists to create unique and resonant works that also generate ongoing income for their communities.
