Australian First Nations and Indian tribal traditions presents, The Guardians Across Mountain and Sea, a group show in a compelling cultural collaboration. The exhibition explores how craft functions as a living practice – carrying knowledge, belief systems, and cultural identity across generations. Drawing on traditions from the Torres Strait Islands and the mountain regions of Nagaland and Himachal Pradesh, it reflects shared ways in which communities engage with the natural world, ancestral memory, and the divine. Through weaving, carving, and ceremonial forms, these traditions continue to evolve, responding to contemporary realities while remaining deeply rooted in place. The works presented highlight striking parallels between Australian and Indian material cultures, offering a powerful cross-cultural dialogue on identity, sustainability and the enduring relevance of indigenous knowledge systems.
