Our new solo exhibition 'Numbuh' by local Indigenous artist Bindimu presents a fusion of ancient stories and Blak futurism manifested as a wearable art collection. This collection is a call to reconnect Indigenous performers to Country, culture, kin and traditional methods of storytelling.
Numbuh, meaning come home or return in Minyangbal dialect, consists of performance and/or traditional attire made from natural materials and fiber processing methods using native, endemic and invasive plant fibers.
This collection is ever-evolving, shaped by seasonal cycles, deep listening to the movement of Country, and the shifting relationship between the artist and Country. 'Numbuh' grows with each iteration, adapting and responding through experimentation.
Bindimu is a multi-disciplinary artist whose practice spans fiber art, sand painting, DJing, soundscapes, and works on canvas and bark. Her work is deeply rooted in the preservation of Indigenous arts in a contemporary colonial landscape.
The exhibition continues until the 13 September and the gallery is open Wednesday to Saturday 10am to 4pm.
