Weaving
Join us each day in the Betty Cuthburt Bar for some weaving brought to us by WUDTJAMEEN. All are welcome.
WUDTJAMEEN offers workshops in the traditional Aboriginal art of basket-weaving, a practice deeply connected to both function and storytelling. Traditionally woven by Aboriginal women, baskets were used for gathering food and everyday necessities, but the act of weaving itself also created space for yarning, sharing knowledge, and strengthening community connections. WUDTJAMEEN is run by Georgia and Olivia, Central and Eastern Arrernte women and sisters, both living in Naarm.
