Bindimu

Bindimu is a multi-disciplinary artist, emerging curator, and community arts worker. Working across traditional weaving, sand painting, works on canvas and bark, DJing and soundscapes, Bindimu focuses on weaving and wearable/fiber art, preserving Bundjalung fiber processing practices and plant knowledge. 

Building on mastering her practice as a weaver, Bindimu was the recipient of a 2023 Create NSW Arts and Cultural funding to produce a new collection of wearable artworks entitled Numbuh exhibited at her first solo at Boomalli Aboriginal Art Gallery. Created with natural and raw fibers, natural dye pigments, the collection was a culmination of 34 individual pieces, the artworks were presented and modeled by six Indigenous performers in a runway style exhibition. The collection is described as ‘Blak Futurism’, an Indigenous perspective on the western ideologies of a post-apocalyptic world. The Numbuh collection has been exhibited again in Nov-Dec 2023 at Outerspace ARI, Aug-Sep 2025 Lone Goat Gallery, and evolves with each iteration.

Other focal points of Bindimu’s career have been her work with community arts development, being a co-curator of the Magandjin-based collective ‘CTRL+ALT+DEL’ (2018-2023) and her work with the Bundjalung based artist residency developed by The Returning Indigenous Corporation, Bulaan Dalang Galii Naa Gaan Ngaa Leen Duu. Both projects designed to empower emerging Indigenous artists and be the culturally safe conduit between Indigenous creatives and the mainstream arts industry.

Alongside the Numbuh collection, Bindimu created a series of soundscapes. A raw arrangement of recordings of Country from throughout her travels that tell their own stories. In the 2023 solo exhibition each featured performer overlaid soundscapes with their own ancestral languages, speaking as Country, an invitation from across the lands to return home, return to Country, culture and kin. Showing the deep practice of listening to Country. Bindimu weaves fiber art and sound together.
