ngabaya (spirit)

Jaye Gangalidda

Friday 9 May – Saturday 31 May

Exhibition Launch: 5.30pm, Thursday 8 May

Artist Talk —11am, Saturday 10 May

ngabaya tells stories of identity and connection to Country – stories of history and spirituality, specific to Jaye Gangalidda’s Yanyuwa, Garawa, and Gangalidda heritage and identity.

Through her textile artworks, Jaye repurposes materials using eco-dyeing, stencilling, quilting, printing, appliqué, and stitching. This process reflects the importance of recycling and reducing waste as a way of caring for country and our planet.

Entry to the galleries is free.
