Cross-Cultural Collaborations

Louise Hamby is Guest Editor of this issue of craft + design enquiry. She is a Research Fellow in the Research School of Humanities and the Arts at The Australian National University. Her research is principally focussed on Arnhem Land material culture, historic and contemporary. Investigating the role of Indigenous people in the formation of collections from eastern Arnhem Land from the turn of the century until recent times is the topic of her current Australian Research Council project. In 2005 she was curator of the exhibition Twined Together: Kunmadj Njalehenjaleken and editor of the book of the same name. Her next exhibition from Gapuwiyak will open in September at Wagga Wagga Art Gallery.
