This Place: Artist Series – Yvonne Koolmatrie

Published 24 February 2020

Master weaver Yvonne Koolmatrie is passionate about preserving the near lost art of Ngarrindjeri weaving. In this episode she shares her process and how she is passing on the tradition to future generations.

This Place: Artists Series aired on ABC in 2020. Commissioned by the ABC, this short documentary series features five Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists from the national collection, looking at their connection to Country and how it inspires their art and identity as they take us to the places across Australia where their art making began. With thanks to Wesfarmers Arts.
