Weaving Stories (Murray River), is a major collaborative fibre art installation for the Biennale created by Indigenous weavers from many Murray River nations. Each of these distinct nations brings its own culture, stories and character into the project using a dynamic combination of materials from their regions and the wider world to create an interwoven installation of the living culture along the Murray River.

Inland Residency Artists:

Works by many local, Australian, and international Inland Residency artists will be part of this opening exhibition that meanders through the venue’s seemingly never-ending maze of gallery spaces.
