Lone Goat Gallery’s latest exhibition Numbuh opens this Saturday, 16 August, with a fusion of ancient stories and Blak futurism manifested as a wearable art collection by local Indigenous artist Bindimu.
The opening will kick off at 5pm, with MC Travers Ross and other special performers. The show has been described as 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.
Bindimu
Bindimu is a multi-disciplinary artist whose practice spans fiber art, sand painting, DJing, soundscapes, works on canvas and bark.
Her work is deeply rooted in the preservation of Indigenous arts in a contemporary colonial landscape.
She describes the collection as 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 was awarded the 2023 Create NSW Arts and Cultural funding to develop her collection Numbuh, originally exhibited at Boomalli Aboriginal Art Gallery.
