KAMBI – Fashion Collection, Lila Creek – Janbal Print

I am a Nyungkul  woman from Shipton’s Flat, my mother’s Country.  My dad was a  Kaanju man from the Coen area.

This Janbal print represents the Quandong tree which grows in my country. I have been collecting and eating Janbal since I was a young girl.

Bana Yirriji are currently collaborating with Fashion Designer, Shannon Brett -To create a collection of garments – as wearable art pieces – that promote the work of the artists of Bana Yirriji Art Centre, and the beautiful community of Wujal Wujal.
