'Bundjalung Weavers: Bulaan Buruugaa Ngali...we weave together' presents a rich visual display of Bundjalung weavers practices set in their traditional country of Northern Rivers, NSW. It is a powerful testimony to the strength, endurance and talent of the weavers whose stories are told in the publication. It shares stories of elders, explores historical works, and outlines traditional plant species and harvesting techniques, inviting others to learn this ancient artform.The inclusion of Bundjalung's Rhoda Roberts AO, Kylie Caldwell and Melissa Lucashenko as writers, editors and producers foregrounds and empowers Indigenous voices and turns the dominant perspective back to First Nation's women and their lives as practicing artists. "This publication features many diverse women from across our homelands who continue the inherited birthrights of our ancestors which were once outlawed, feared and oppressed, making way for the notion of Terra Nullis. Our women's knowledge systems, wisdom and stories are an incredible and generous legacy. This publication is a valuable continuation of that legacy, giving me a sense of strength, belonging and pride. It's reawakening." Rhoda Roberts AO
