Bindimu

Bindimu is a multi-disciplinary artist whose practice spans fiber art, sand painting, DJing, soundscapes, and works on canvas and bark. Her work is deeply rooted in the preservation of Indigenous arts in a contemporary colonial landscape. Her work encompasses fiber art, sand painting, DJing, soundscapes, and cultural dance, with a commitment to preserving Indigenous storytelling and creative practices like fiber processing, while engaging with the realities of a colonial environment.

Bindimu was awarded the 2023 Create NSW Arts and Cultural funding to develop her collection Numbuh, exhibited at Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Cooperative. The collection of wearable art was brought to life by six Indigenous performers, who danced to a soundscape woven from stories, languages, and sounds of Country.

The Numbuh collection is ever-evolving, shaped by seasonal cycles, deep listening to the movement of Country, and the shifting relationship between the artist and Country. Numbuh grows with each iteration, adapting and responding through experimentation.
