Created by Bendigo Art Gallery and curated by Shonae Hobson, Piinpi: Contemporary Indigenous Fashion shines a light on Australia’s leading First Nations creatives, and a design movement that has become a national fashion phenomenon.

Featuring 24 hand-crafted garments by Indigenous artists and designers from the inner city to remote desert art centres, Piinpi highlights the strength and diversity of the rapidly expanding Indigenous fashion and textile industry in Australia. Collections from 36 artists are showcased, including Lyn-Al Young, Grace Lillian-Lee, Babbarra Women’s Centre, Maree Clarke, Lisa Waup x Verner, and Hopevale Arts and Cultural centre.

Free with Melbourne Museum entry.
