UQ Poche x Durban Bagii Weaving Circle

UQ Poche x Durban Bagii Weaving Circle

To kick off Reconciliation Week UQ Poche Centre for Indigenous Health will host a weaving circle, led by the incredibly talented artist and creator of Durban Bagii Carly Wallace.

Carly is a Dulguburra Yidinji woman from Yungaburra in Far North Queensland. Durban Bagii translates to ‘carrying bags’ in ‘Yidiny’ language.

This weaving circle will present a unique opportunity for participants to come together in an intimate setting, fostering connections and learning. Under Carly's guidance, participants will delve into basic coiling techniques and have the chance to create their very own woven masterpiece. Carly will share her personal story and journey behind her weaving practice, a tradition handed down to Carly from her elders and is a cultural practice she aims to keep alive by sharing her creations with people across Australia and the world.

We have allowed three hours for the activity to run, but particpants are welcome to drop in for any amount of time during this period. Morning Tea will be provided so please register your attendance to secure your spot as numbers are limited.

We hope you can join us for a morning of creativity, connection, and learning.
