A striking hang of 15 works, patterned and figuartive works displaying Gomeroi totems and a depiction of the Eurah leaf, the leaf is used in bush medicine, from which Euraba takes it's name. In the Gomeroi language, Euraba translates to a place of healing.

Looking Back, Looking Forward: Gomeroi Artists Shine in Sustainable Art Exhibition

December 10, 2024

The stunning new exhibition, Looking Back / Looking Forward, highlights the talent and resilience of the Gomeroi Artists Group, presented by the Euraba Paper Company. This impactful show features 50 works on cotton pulp paper, a sustainable and innovative medium crafted using locally sourced cotton fabric waste from iconic Australian brands like Country Road and RM Williams.

 

The exhibition, now on display at the Yaama Ganu Gallery, 211 Balo St, Moree NSW 2400 celebrates the cultural and creative revival of the Toomelah and Boggabilla communities. Through immense dedication, the communities have reopened the Euraba studio, transforming it into a vibrant hub of artistic expression, cultural pride, and connection.

 

Through collaboration with Yaama Ganu, Bank Art Museum Moree and Arts North West, supported by the Indigenous Visual Arts Industry Support Program the exhibition stands as a testament to the power of art in fostering resilience, sustainability, and cultural heritage. Looking Back / Looking Forward marks a major milestone for the Euraba artists, showcasing their creativity while championing environmental sustainability through their innovative papermaking process.

 

Here an extraordinary group of nine senior Gomeroi women established a production paper mill, the Euraba Paper Company. They are the first indigenous community to make handmade paper and paper arts in Australia.


“Arts North West are honoured to work with the Gomeroi artists in this first group show for the artists, since the reopening of the studio.” said Lauren Mackley, Executive Director of Arts North West. “This show is a powerful celebration of cultural pride, creativity, and community resilience. The dedication of the artists and the Euraba Paper Company in championing sustainable practices while honouring Gomeroi traditions is truly inspiring. We encourage everyone to experience this unique exhibition and support the talented artists who have brought it to life.”

 

All artworks are available at an accessible price of $600, encouraging collectors and supporters to invest in these unique, handmade pieces. Opening day sales have been strong, demonstrating the growing appreciation for the artistry and cultural significance of the works.

 

Arts North West, in collaboration with the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, is proud to support this initiative. Their backing has been instrumental in making the exhibition a success, fostering opportunities for regional artists and enriching the local arts scene.


Experience Looking Back / Looking Forward and support the Gomeroi artists by visiting the Yaama Ganu Gallery Moree. Every piece you acquire helps sustain the creative and cultural heartbeat of the Toomelah and Boggabilla communities.

The exhibition continues until the end of January 2025.
