Opening Reception | August 23, 7-9pm

Cultural Fabric takes a look at Indigenous culture through the lens of four different ECU artists.

Indigenous artistic expressions continually shift in response to cultural circumstances and facilitates the reinvention and re-interpretation of traditional practices. This exhibition challenges notions about how Indigenous art is created and perceived, with works ranging from a variety of artistic disciplines and materials including, fur, hide, wool and cedar.

Featuring work by:

  • Brenda Crabtree
  • Gaye Fowler
  • Kajola Morewood
  • Michelle Sound

The exhibition, curated by ECU's Aboriginal Program Director, Brenda Crabtree, draws from work undertaken at the University's Aboriginal Gathering Place.
