In 2014 Bush Babies played a vital role in Moora, where the sharing of stories has brought together families who were grieving after many deaths in the community. The Moora community was inspired by CAN’s previous project Yarns of the Heart: Noongar Dolls, and focused on creating textile ‘babies from the bush’ using a variety of natural materials and ancestral techniques, including eco-dyeing and weaving.
With local Noongar artist Gloria Egan, CAN delivered a series of workshops in New Norcia and Moora where participants shared their stories and created their own ‘bush baby’, each doll with a family story connected to it.
