“When people hold bush dye they can feel our Country, the spirit of the old people.”

Bush dyed textiles are hand crafted in communities across the Groote Eylandt Archipelago. Warnumamalya women hold ancient knowledge of their Country and dyeing practice from their ancestors. Using a variety of endemic roots, leaves, bark and berries, artists create unique textiles, reflecting the colours, textures, and landscapes of Anindilyakwa Country.
