Almost two years in the making and spanning the nation, In Cahoots celebrates the unique and energised artistic works that emerge when artists collaborate across cultures. The exhibition is the result of six residencies with remote and regional Aboriginal Arts Centres, undertaken by independent Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal artists from across Australia.
For In Cahoots, Martu artists Kumpaya Girgiba, Rachel Handley, Thelma Judson and Nancy Karnu Taylor worked with Blue Mountains artists Claire Healy & Sean Cordero in the community of Parnngurr. They collaboratively created a series large-scale weavings that are integrated into rusted car parts. These sculptural works combine local Martu basket-weaving techniques with Claire & Sean's background in dismantling ready-made objects such as vehicles and architecture.
