Yarns of the Heart Book

Narrogin

Yarns of the Heart: Noongar Dolls tracks the journey of this extraordinary project, and with it the lives and stories of the doll makers.

Yarns of the Heart began as a series of weekly doll making workshops which led to community based exhibitions, and culminated in major exhibitions in leading cultural institutes across the country. This is testimony to the project capturing people’s imaginations along its journey.

Each doll in this book is unique and each individual character tells the story of the creator. Whether it defines ‘freedom’ as taking your shoes off at the end of a hard day, depicts a traditional story, tells of the strength of grandmothers, sisters, fathers, or self, the dolls have become significant storytellers within the community.

Read this publication and learn about the creative processes that are fundamental to our humanity; they nurture our souls and heal our hearts.

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.
