25.01.2022 Good news for Carriageworks! It’s great to see people stepping in to support art and culture centres that have been hit hard by the COVID crisis, and so important to ensure they’re able to continue to thrive once the worst is behind us.... bit.ly/carriageworksnews

24.01.2022 For those of you in Melbourne in the coming months, the NGV Triennial is a must. We have been particularly taken with Dhambit Munugurr’s of Buku-Larrnggay Mulka fame Can we all have a happy life 20192020. Although it is not customary, Munugurr was given special permission to use blue acrylic paint, following a car accident that made the use of natural pigments difficult. This has enabled Munugurr to become the first artist at Buku to use the colour blue in Yolu art, and ...the results are extraordinary. . Tickets are free, but bookings essential @ngvmelbourne and makes are highly recommended. . Installation view of Dhambit Mununggurr’s installation Can we all have a happy life 201920 on display in NGV Triennial 2020 from 19 December 2020 18 April 2021 at NGV International, Melbourne Dhambit Munugurr, courtesy Salon Indigenous Art Projects, Darwin.

18.01.2022 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we were so touched to read about The Beautiful Shawl Project! It’s the brainchild of BreastScreen Victoria and the Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation, who have worked with eight Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations across Victoria to produce stunning, culturally appropriate shawls for Aboriginal women to wear during breast screening (and to keep afterwards!).

17.01.2022 When you buy a bilum bag, not only are you purchasing something unique and hand made, your economic contribution reverberates through the network of Papua New Guinean village life. When we have big orders, we extend to the villages, so that the women from the villages start making bilum as well so there are so many people benefitting from one bilum. The weaver benefits, the material provider benefits, the handler who is supporting bilum is benefitting so there are many peop...le benefitting from one bilum." - Fransisca Moiwo, Founder of Gifted Hands cooperative Check our range of one-of-a-kind bilum bags here: bit.ly/shopbilums You might just find your bilum soulmate Pictured here: The Bilum in Boroko Market, Port Moresby, 2018 Photo credit: Ái Vuong for The Asia Foundation #Bilum #oneoftwelve #PNG #papuanewguinea #bilumbags #bilumweaving

16.01.2022 A huge congratulations to Vincent Namatjira for his historic Archibald Prize win! We couldn’t be happier to see not one, but two Aboriginal artists getting the recognition they deserve this year, with Meyne Wyatt taking home the Packing Room Prize earlier in the week. Accepting the award via Zoom from the APY Lands, where he lives, Namatjira said: "What an honour it is to be the first Indigenous winner of the Archibald Prize. It only took 99 years! bit.ly/archieABC... #archibaldprize #aboriginalart #australianart

14.01.2022 2021 is barely out of the gates and already there's a lot to look forward to exhibition-wise! These 11 must-see First Nations exhibitions have something on offer for people right across the country, from WA's Songlines: Tracking the Seven Sisters, which conjures the Ancestral routes of the Seven Sisters as they fled across deserts, pursued by a relentless sorcerer, to the 4th Annual National Indigenous Art Triennial, which is returning to Canberra's NGA later this year.

13.01.2022 Today is the Anniversary of the National Apology, when Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said sorry to Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples for the injustices of past government policies, particularly relating to the Stolen Generations. It's a day of national reflection, mourning and, hopefully, some solace for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who still suffer from the legacy of colonisation and displacement. Today, as every day, we stand with our Fi...rst Nations people, remembering the hardships they have faced, and looking forward to a brighter future.

11.01.2022 We couldn’t be happier to hear that the Gurindji traditional owners have had their native title rights to the Northern Territory’s historic Wave Hill station officially recognised! Wave Hill was the the birthplace of Australia's Aboriginal land rights movement when, in 1966, more than 200 Indigenous stockmen walked off the station in protest over poor work conditions and their land dispossession. We’re especially excited as an esteemed One of Twelve staff member was instrumen...tal in organising the event to formally recognise the Gurindji native title bit.ly/wavehillABC #wavehillstation #NT #australia #centrallandcouncil #landrights #treaty #aboriginalaustralia

10.01.2022 Have you ever wondered how our beautiful bilums are made? In 2018, One of Twelve founder Anna Saboisky was lucky enough to find out first hand! She was invited along to PNG's Megabo Village, in the tribal lands of the Bena Bena people, to help make a film about this incredible process in partnership with Google and The Asia Foundation. ... They were the first tourists ever to visit, and the lovely Opu (featured below) demonstrated how she makes bilums in the traditional way.

03.01.2022 Hot off the press!! Fresh for 2021 we’ve introduced an electrifying new design by Ninuku Arts’ Jimmy Donegan to the One of Twelve range! The Papa Tjukurpa (Dog Dreaming) scarf depicts a dreaming entrusted to Donegan by his father. It represents a deviation from his signature style of fastidiously detailed dot-work to a compelling use of vibrant, rhythmic lines that balance out the depth of negative space....
