kanalaritja: An Unbroken String

$34.95

kanalaritja: An Unbroken String 

Shell stringing is one of the only practices that not only withstood the impacts of colonisation but adapted and evolved to include intricate and delicate patterns of numerous shell types and most recently the artistic inclusion of other natural materials such as kelp, furs and echidna quills. The lives and practices of key makers were threaded through the exhibition to tie together the themes of resilience, continuity, identity and revitalisation.

Accompanying the exhibition was a major publication featuring essays, poetry and family oral histories written by leading Aboriginal historians, artists, curators and shell stringers.
