Celebrating our Artist in Residence, Delvene Cockatoo-Collins - Quandamooka artist, weaver and storyteller ✨

In Warrajamba, Delvene shares her connection to Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) and Mulgumpin (Moreton Island) through weaving, printmaking and natural materials gathered from Country — talwalpin (beach hibiscus cotton tree) fibres, yungair/yungaire (freshwater reed), quampie shells and natural dyes.

During National Reconciliation Week, and in the spirit of this year’s theme, All In, we’re honoured to celebrate living culture, storytelling and connection across generations.
