Following AGWA's recent announcement of Daniel Walbidi's striking new commission Wirnpa (2016-2019), the Gallery revealed a collection of works by Mangkaja Arts artists as the second of eight commissions to feature in the exhibition Desert River Sea: Portraits of the Kimberley. The works from Mangkaja Arts focus on station stories from artists' personal and collective memories. Diverse in medium, the collection features painted animal hides, bush-dyed textiles and repurposed ready-made objects.
