We are excited to announce that the beautiful ‘Dabiyil Bajara’ by Sonja Carmichael & Elisa Jane Carmichael is featured in the touring exhibition ‘All That is Alive’ that is now on display at the La Trobe Art Institute, being previously exhibited by UTS Gallery in Sydney.
Exhibition dates: 25 February—10 May 2026
Location: La Trobe Art Institute, 121 View St, Bendigo
‘Dabiyil Bajara (Water Footprints)’ comprises twenty-three woven rings made from Ungaire (natural fibre) and ghost net (synthetic fibres/ recycled materials), and a Cyanotype printed on cotton. The work is a document of care, of holding Country close, of mutual reciprocity between momentary custodians and the Country they care for-it is a work made about and emerging from mothers and daughters.
The exhibition ‘All that is Alive’ draws “on ancient kinships and ancestral knowledge, mycelial intelligence and fermentation, non-hierarchical and interspecies relations, machine desire and collective agency, the artworks in the exhibition engage with the interconnected practices that sustain and define life – human and otherwise.” Visit until 10 May, 2026.
