Mullum Mullum Community Blak Arts

Mullum Mullum Indigenous Gathering Place and Arts in Maroondah present Mullum Mullum Community Blak Arts. This exhibition embraces the extraordinary range, scope and talent of artists within the Mullum Mullum Community. Representing traditional art practices that have been passed down from our ancestors for over 60,000 years to the present time, combined with modern materials and techniques, this truly magical exhibition celebrates the oldest living culture in the world. The work of First Nations artists is imbued with spiritual meaning; expressing the knowledge and beliefs that underpin our lores, laws, ceremonies and daily lives. Mythical stories of The Dreaming are embedded in traditional and contemporary approaches to media ranging across: weaving, drawing, painting, burning symbols on possum skins, implements, tools and weapons.
