It brings together a selection of seventy First Nations designers, artists and makers to showcase the first major survey of Indigenous Australian fashion. The Talking First Nations panel event will be facilitated by Kaantju woman Shonae Hobson who will be crossing live to fellow guest Designers and Artists from the exhibition: Lyn-Al Young, Lisa Waup and Arkie Barton to discuss their individual works.
