The experience of weaving is bigger than the technique or the final woven basket, bag, mat or trap. It also offers big lessons on sustainability and the importance of centring Indigenous knowledge in the fight for climate justice - something we all know is critical for our collective survival (me, you, Country and fauna kin). 

Gabi Briggs is an Anaiwan &amp; Gumbaynggirr gedyura (woman) who works on community building projects and is a research-based artist working within a diverse range of mediums, primarily photography, weaving and zine-making. Her community work has led her art practice into deep contemplation about colonial harm on kin and country, which has resulted in her eliciting a dialogue about truth-telling and a return to Indigenous Knowledge systems. She intends that the dialogue moves outside the gallery (or publication) and into communities to prompt transformative justice.
