Djanga - Spirit: Artist Floortalk

Join artist Martine Perret for an in-depth view of this very special community project and exhibition.

Hear directly from artist Martine Perret and Wardandi Elder Vivian Brockman Webb as they discuss the creative collaboration that has been formed to produce the works featured in the Djanga – Spirit exhibition. 

This cross-cultural creative project has brought together a conversation between women that expresses something beyond words. The work infuses the spirituality and significance of Wardandi heritage with contemporary approaches to image-making through photography and light-play.  

Learn about their collaborative journey and how their art-making process evolved to create the beautiful works shared in Djanga – Spirit.
