Product Story:
This garment forms part of the Mingaan collection which is a celebration of family, connectedness and togetherness and the word Mingaan refers to Elder sister.
Birrang in Wiradjuri language translates to journey. This print recognises and acknowledges the journey that families take together.
Gija man, Lindsay Malay works from the Warmun Art Centre, located 200kms outside of Kununurra in the Kimberley, Western Australia. Warmun is renowned for its artists' use of natural ochre and pigments to denote a contemporary expression of Country and culture and its reputation is felt both nationally and internationally due to the calibre of highly successful artists in the community.
Lindsay's work is vibrant and transfixing, telling the story of the Country he inherited from his Grandfather and of which his family regained traditional ownership of in 2010.
“Incorporating Lindsay’s work into our Aboriginal designed clothing, silk dresses, silk scarves and tops & pants gives the artist the opportunity to tell their story through and for us to tell a shared story together. That's what we are all about at the end of the day, we are all storytellers."
