The Madjawa Maangi exhibition explores Indigenous cultural health — the interconnectedness between people and Country through culture. The exhibition is inspired by the creation story of the seagull who brings the pippi from saltwater to freshwater Country, reflecting the importance of sharing knowledge, skills, and resources.
