JARRACHARRA: DRY SEASON WIND AT THE AUSTRALIAN EMBASSY BERLIN
The Australian Embassy Berlin in cooperation with curator Laura Thompson, is pleased to present ‘Jarracharra: dry season wind’ at the Australian Embassy from 8 November 2021. ‘Jarracharra: dry season wind’ brings together a selection of textile works from the Bábbarra Women’s Centre. Situated in Western Arnhem Land (Northern Territory) the Bábbarra Women’s Centre is one of the world’s most remote art centres. Directed by women, for women, the centre actively works to give voice to female Indigenous narratives, supporting the artists through women-led projects and enterprises.
The diversity of designs featured in ‘Jarracharra: dry season wind’ celebrates the richness of culture and story from across Arnhem Land. “Jarracharra” refers to the cool wind that travels through the region each dry season, bringing with it a period of gathering and exchange between community groups.
