FUMA's nationally significant collection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art is driving cultural learning and opening up conversations that advance reconciliation.

By engaging students across a range of disciplines with First Nations knowledges, perspectives and lived experiences, the artworks transform ways of seeing, feeling, and understanding the shared histories of Australia’s recent past. 

With your support, FUMA's collections of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artwork will continue to be an incredibly important resource for current and future generations of students, researchers and the wider community.

FUMA is seeking support to acquire eight artworks from its current exhibition, mane djang karirra: the place where the dreaming changed shape.

Curated by FUMA in collaboration with Maningrida Arts and Culture, this exquisite survey explores the recent rise and recognition of women in the painting traditions of central and western Arnhem Land.

The exhibition pays homage to the profound influence and lasting legacy of senior artists from the region, spotlighting the dynamic and burgeoning community of today's women painters. These artists are dedicated to upholding the knowledge, language and culture of their ancestors while venturing into new artistic frontiers.

Your contribution will ensure the remarkable voices and stories of a new generation of women artists of Arnhem Land are preserved for current and future generations.
