We hold our mothers' teachings in our hearts and hands: Bark cloths from PNG

1 - 31 August 2011

Short St Gallery is extremely proud to present this rare and exciting work from the Omie Artists of Papua New Guinea. The exhibition celebrates the contemporary expression of nioge (barkcloth). This ancient tradition is practiced exclusively by the Omie women of the Oro Province.

Please join us for the opening on Thursday 11th August at 6pm. Brennan King the Omie Artists Manager will also be joining us for a special floor talk on the origins and tradition of this very special art form.

All are welcome.
