This artwork is part of the Woven Together: Undivided We Rise exhibition currently on display at Cairns Regional Art Gallery from 18 May until 22 August 2026.

Woven Together: Undivided We Rise is a powerful celebration of resilience, community, and cultural continuity. Curated by Gangulu woman Sabrina-Rose Toby, this exhibition honours the trust of the six exhibiting artists, who share their stories through the transformative practice of weaving. Bringing together individual weavings alongside a collaborative woven installation, each fibre is a vessel of memory, healing, and strength.

Exhibiting artist and Elder Aunty Rosalind Sailor said that the works echo women’s traditions like those from her Yalanji cultural practice, “carrying burdens in their baskets until they are taken upstream and renewed by cleansing in the water.” Through collaborative spirit and deep cultural knowledge, these works weave together past and present, pain and hope.
