Bindimu

Bindimu is a multi-disciplinary artist and curator. Her practice includes fiber art and sand painting, DJing, soundscapes, and cultural dance, prioritizing the preservation of Indigenous arts practices such as fiber processing while living in a colonial landscape. Connection to Country is the foundation of Bindimu’s career as a full-time artist.

Building on her mastery of weaving and fiber art, Bindimu was awarded the 2023 Create NSW Arts and Cultural funding, which financed the development and creation of a new collection of wearable artworks entitled ‘Numbuh.’ and the presentation of the collection at her first solo exhibition at the Boomalli Aboriginal Art Gallery. Using native and invasive fibers and natural dye pigments, the collection comprised of 34 individual pieces, presented and modeled by six Indigenous performers in a runway-style exhibition. Described as ‘Blak Futurism,’ the collection offers an Indigenous perspective on the western ideologies of a post-apocalyptic world. It is a collection of works that aims to redirect away from assimilationism and reconnect Indigenous performers to Country, culture and kin.
