Rabat : L’art textile aborigène australien à l’honneur

Australian aboriginal textile art that attracts attention

The exhibition, which runs until October 1, features impressive hangings of hand-printed textiles and a series of prints by artists paying homage to the sacred stories of their ancestral lands and their people.

Organized by the Australian Embassy in Morocco in association with the Abla Ababu Gallery, the exhibition brings together the works of 17 Indigenous women-artists from diverse linguistic groups and, through contemporary media, reflects one of Australia’s rich millennial stories and artistic practices. Very remote areas. A bucolic and joyful universe enriched by a kaftan made of a tribal fabric by Moroccan stylist Yasmina Dadi. A unique and original piece that weaves cultural ties between Australia and Morocco.
