Bream, FileSnake & Dilly Bag

The 2025 Gapu series is the 12th workshop series in Djilpin’s long collaboration with Basil Hall Editions. Djilpin Artists worked, for the first time, with Printmaker Antonia Aitken. Collograph plates were developed by 15 artists over a week in April at Djilpin Arts Centre in Wugularr (Beswick). For Series XII, artists have depicted traditional string and dilly bags, bathi, exploring the place of these artefacts in culture, ceremony and mythology.

Series XII was launched at Honey Bones Gallery, Melbourne in October 2025.
