Kwobadak Maar Exhibition

Northam

The Kwobadak Maar (Beautiful Hands) exhibition took over an empty shop front in the main street of Northam over the summer of 2016/ 2017.

The exhibition featured works by Elaine Dickie, the late Norma Garlett, Frances Gillespie, Glenda Kickett, Janet Kickett, Yvonne Kickett, Cindy Moody, Deborah Moody and Sonia Stack.

Across October and November 2016, CAN ran an art and textiles project with the Northam Yorgas who shared their stories of the Wheatbelt through their stunning textile prints, woven sculptures and crafted objects.

The Yorgas were invited to each create craft piece that shared a personal or local story. The Yorgas were supported to work with their existing skills and explore new craft techniques as they stitched, printed and wove to develop pieces that shared stories of country, childhood, and memories of Elders.

CAN acknowledges the Noongar people of the Bibbulmun nation as the traditional custodians of the lands on which we work and live. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and honour all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders as the first people of this nation. CAN is proud to work with people from all cultures, but we do so on the understanding of First Peoples, first.

Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
