In very exciting news @babbarradesigns and Publisher have been selected as a finalist for the community collaboration award as part of the inaugural National Indigenous Fashion Awards! Pretty exciting stuff! The winners will be announced on @nitv_au on August 5th.Head over to @indigenousfashionprojects to see all the other nominees and awards categories. It’s a list that I feel beyond grateful to be included on. I have so much love for all the women at Babbarra, it’s been an amazing 5 years working together, the amount we have learnt from each other is huge, the trust and friendship that has formed between us has been the best part of my job and I cannot wait to see them all in person next year to celebrate everything that has happened in the past year. 📸 taken in Maningrida in 2018 for our first clothing collection. . . . #publishertextiles #babbarradesigns #australianmade #slowfashion #indigenousart #indigenousfashions #ausindigenousfashion #aboriginalaustralia #ethicalfashion #screenprinted #handmade #madelocal

Finding @deadly_denim_ was quite the boon for us. We don’t like throwing things out round here and I was especially loathe to throw out such beautiful offcuts. Now all our offcuts featuring indigenous designs are sent to Bec to be used in her fashion range and by a women’s prison release program in WA, teaching indigenous sewing skills. 📸 @barefootwandering.photography Model: Jessica Mercy Print design: Murnubbarr Karrolkan by Dora Diaguma from @babbarradesigns . . #publishertextiles #babbarradesigns #australianmade #slowfashion #indigenousart #indigenousfashions #ausindigenousfashion #aboriginalaustralia #ethicalfashion #screenprinted #handmade #madelocal #deadlydemin

Sorry we have been a little quiet on here this past week. We can happily say it’s been cause we are so damn busy at the moment! Thank you to all the Australian brands making things in Australia and thank you to everyone who has placed an order with the art centres we work with! It’s very heartening to see so many people falling in love with aboriginal textiles! . 📸 of Deborah from @babbarradesigns print, Man-kurndalh (bush plum), which will be soon turned into skirts. . . . #publishertextiles #babbarradesigns #australianmade #slowfashion #indigenousart #indigenousfashions #ausindigenousfashion #aboriginalaustralia #ethicalfashion #screenprinted #handmade #madelocal

A symbol of pain and frustration by @scottie.marsh . This mural, painted with permission of the property owner was pained over within 24 hours by NSW police. . Our premier, @gladysb, when questioned over the conduct of police and the relationship they have with the indigenous community by @jennyleong.newtown in parliament said she was proud of our police force. . Yesterday I watched a video of 2 baby cops give a stunning display of all the training they received when they joined the Force, and force is what they have learnt. . Good thing we live in a lucky country where people don’t have deeply ingrained colonial style biases and a tendency to ignore the suffering of our BIPOC communities! Otherwise we might be feeling some of that pain and frustration.

Another day another beautiful @babbarradesigns print! Kun-ngol by Elizabeth Kandabuma in blues on Mustard drill.
