2025 NT Quick Response recipient - Numbulwar Numburindi Artists
Master weaver Janette Murrungun and emerging artist Shania Wurramarra traveled to Europe to present at an industry conference, connect with historical Numburindi collections and develop international networks.
‘Through workshops, presentations, and public programs across France, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, Numbulwar artists engaged diverse international audiences. Their weaving demonstrations and storytelling broadened awareness of Numbulwar culture, with media coverage and sales further amplifying their reach.’
‘The project increased professional development for artists Janette Murrungun and Shania Wurramara, who gained international experience, built networks, and raised their profiles. They presented at the European Society of Oceanists conference, led a successful weaving workshop at Fondation Opale, and began shaping a major cultural project with the Wereldmuseum and Dr. Louise Hamby. They designed an exhibition that will be held in Australia in 2027 featuring artefacts on loan from the Wereldmuseum and contemporary art.’
